Displays the current time.
Displays the current date.
Sets the desired language.
Sets the size and density of diskette drives.
Enables hard drive size and specific parameters from a predetermined
list of drive types. Drive types 2 and 3 or 48 and 49 are user definable
for hard drives not listed in the BIOS drive table.
Note: This option allows to disable or configure the computer for the
IDE hard disk drives that are installed. There is the option of manually
selecting drive types or using an auto-detect feature. To use the auto-
detect feature, first select either drive types 2 and 3 or drive types 48
and 49. Once selected, you are prompted to execute the auto-detect
feature by pressing the [Enter] key.
Displays the size of base (conventional) memory.
Note: The main logic board reserves the first 1024 KB of address
space for computer use. Base memory (640 KB) is first assigned to
the operating system. The remaining 384 KB is assigned to shadow
main logic board BIOS, video BIOS, or for other computer use.
Base memory is always 640 KB unless an error is detected. If an error
is detected, the BIOS Setup utility determines the actual memory
found (base and extended) and places the values in their respective
fields.
Displays the current amount of extended memory.
Sets the video controller type.
Enables or disables the keyboard when using the computer as a
network server.
Note: The computer must initially be set up with a keyboard.
Enables or disables the NumLock feature each time the computer
boots.
Enables or disables a power-on password.
