M S-6439 Barebone
Virus Warning
The item is to set the Virus W arning feature for IDE Hard Disk boot sector protection.
If the function is enabled and any attempt to write data into this area is made, BIOS
will display a warning message on screen and beep.
Important
Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table can
trigger the virus warning message. If you plan to run such a program, we
recommend that you first disable the virus warning.
Quick Power On Self Test
Important
Select [Enabled] to reduce the amount of time required to run the power-on self-test
(POST). A quick POST skips certain steps. We recommend that you normally disable
quick POST. Better to find a problem during POST than lose data during your work.
First / Second / Third Boot Device
These items allow you to set the sequence of boot devices where BIOS attempts to
load the operating system.
Boot Other Device

system fails to boot from the 1st/2nd/3rd boot device. Settings are: [Disabled],
[Enabled].
Boot Up NumLock Status
This setting is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on. Setting to
[On] will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered on. Setting to [Off]
will allow users to use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad.

irrelevant. Keystrokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller in your

second) at which the keys are accelerated.
