3.3-10 Load Optimized Defaults

This option opens a dialog box that lets you install optimized defaults for all
appropriate items in the Setup Utility. Press <Y> and then <Enter> to
install the defaults. Press <N> and then <Enter> to not install the de-
faults. The optimized defaults place demands on the system that may be
greater than the performance level of the components, such as the CPU
and the memory. When your hardware doesn't support the "Optimized
Defaults", fatal system errors or instability may occur. If you only want to
install setup defaults for a specific option, select and display that option,
and then press <F7>.
Users please use the factory BIOS default setting of "Load optimized
Defaults" when install Operation System onto your system.

of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

freely.

Setup" menu, you will be prompted for the password every time the system
reboots or any time you try to enter BIOS Setup.
If you have selected "Setup" at "Security Option" from "BIOS Features
Setup" menu, you will be prompted for the password only when you enter
BIOS Setup. Supervisor Password has higher priority than User Password.

BIOS Setup to modify all settings. Also you can use User Password when
booting the system or entering BIOS Setup but can not modify any setting
