Quick Boot
This setting eliminates the BIOS memory test, which can take quite some time to run, when the
system is first powering up. We recommend that you leave this enabled unless you think your
system is experiencing a memory-related problem. If you upgrade you system memory, disable
this temporarily to test the new configuration and then enable it afterwards.
Boot Drive Order
"Boot Drive Order" is set to "C:, A:" which causes the system to go to the hard disk first to load
the operating system. If you want it to check the floppy disk drive first, so the computer will boot
from it if a system floppy is in the drive, switch this to the "A:, C:" setting.
Password
The Password feature allows you to password protect access to WinBook. When you set a
password in this field, the computer will not complete the boot process without the password,
effectively preventing unauthorized access.
To use this feature, highlight the "Password" field and follow the instructions that pop up to
guide you through the process of creating and saving a password.
If you reach the point where you are supposed to type in your password and you decide you want
to stop, type any key, press 'Enter' and then press 'Enter' again without typing ANYTHING
when it asks you to confirm the new password. This will send you back to the beginning.
[XP5 6-5]
You must use the F4 command to exit Setup and save the new password setting, or it will not
work even if you set a password.
You can change or remove the password by highlighting the "Password" field, typing in the
existing password at the prompt, and following the instructions.
Boot Display
The "Boot Display" field defines which display the system will use when you turn the computer
on. There are two options:
Auto-Detect - The default. If no CRT is connected, the system will use the LCD display. If a
monitor is connected to the VGA port, the system will default to CRT-only mode and disable the
LCD screen.
Simulscan - Both LCD and CRT are active, whether or not a monitor is connected to the VGA
port. Since this setting slows display response a little, use the default Auto-detect mode for
maximum performance.
