Chapter3 Award BIOS Setup
When Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to
determine whether they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only
360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with 720
KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB capacity all have 80 tracks.
Because very few modern PCs have 40-track floppy
drives, we recommend you to choose "Disabled" to save
time.
The choices: Enabled, Disabled.
Boot Up NumLock Status
Toggle between On or Off to control the state of the
NumLock key when the system boots. When toggled
On, the numeric keypad generates numbers instead of
controlling cursor operations.
The choices: On, Off.
Gate A20 Option
Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses
memory above 1 MB (extended memory). When set to
Fast, the system chipset controls Gate A20. When set to
Normal, a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate
A20. Setting Gate A20 to fast improves system speed,
particularly with OS/2 and Windows.
The choices: Fast, Normal.
