The icons in this section permit you to select a
group of settings for all WINBIOS Setup options.
Not only can you use these icons to quickly set
system configuration parameters, you can choose a
group of settings that have a better chance of
working when the system is having configuration-
related problems.
Choose the Original icon to return to the system
configuration values present in WINBIOS Setup
when you first began this WINBIOS Setup session.
You can load the optimal default settings for the
WINBIOS by selecting the Optimal icon. The
Optimal default settings are best-case values that
should optimize system performance. If CMOS
RAM is corrupted, the Optimal settings are loaded
automatically.
You can load the Fail-Safe WINBIOS Setup option
settings by selecting the Fail-Safe icon from the
Default section of the WINBIOS Setup main menu.
The Fail-Safe settings provide far from optimal
system performance, but are the most stable
settings. Use this option as a diagnostic aid if the
system is behaving erratically.
