System
Setup(default)
Note: To disable security, select PASSWORD SETTING at Main Menu and
then you will be asked to enter password. Do not type anything and
just press <Enter>, it will disable security. Once the security is
disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
PCI VGA Palette Snooping
Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers which are not
VGA compatible, take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their
display as a way to provide the boot information and the VGA compatibility.
However, the color information coming from the VGA controller is
drawn from the palette table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper
colors, and the graphic controller needs to know what is in the palette of the
VGA controller. To do this, the non-VGA graphic controller watches for the
Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop data. In PCI based
systems, where the VGA controller is on the PCI bus and a non-VGA graphic
controller is on an ISA bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up
on the ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Writes.
The system will not boot and access to Setup
will be denied if the correct password is not
entered at the prompt.
The system will boot, but access to Setup will
be denied if the correct password is not entered
at the prompt.
