Compaq DS20E - AlphaStation - 1 GB RAM User Manual page 173

PCI parity checking — Enables and disables settings for PCI parity checking,
which ensures data integrity across the PCI bus. Because some third-party PCI
options do not correctly implement PCI parity generation, the default is
Disabled.
Power-up memory test — Enables and disables settings for the power-up
memory test.
Password setup — Enables and disables settings for password setup.
Password protection provides two levels of security for your system: setup,
which requires a password to start AlphaBIOS Setup, and startup, which
requires a password before the system initializes. Startup protection provides
more comprehensive protection than setup protection because the system cannot
be used at all until the correct password is entered.
Console selection — Switches from AlphaBIOS to SRM firmware. If you select
OpenVMS (SRM) or DIGITAL UNIX (SRM), the next time you reset your
system, the SRM firmware will be loaded instead of AlphaBIOS. This menu
selection changes the setting of the os_type environment variable in the SRM
console.
Memory test length — Selects the length of memory testing that will be done the
next time the system is power-cycled.
Warm Reboot — Enable (the default) results in the system restarting normally
on a shutdown and restart from the operating system. Disable results in the
necessity to restart the machine by pressing reset or power-cycling.
Advanced CMOS Setup options
Discard changes (Escape key) —Restores those settings in effect when you
started Advanced CMOS Setup. This does not discard changes made to
Standard CMOS Setup.
Save Changes (F10 key) — Saves changes made in Advanced CMOS Setup.
When exiting CMOS Setup, you must also save your changes at the Standard
CMOS Setup screen for the changes to be stored permanently.
