First, Second, Third, Fourth Boot Device
The Boot Menu allows you to select 13 types of boot devices. Promotion or
demotion of devices alters the priority which the system uses to boot device on
system power up. Configuration options include [Floppy] [LS120] [HDD-0] [SCSI]
[CDROM] [HDD-1] [HDD-2] [HDD-3] [ZIP][USB-FDD] [USB-ZIP] [USB-CDROM]
[USB-HDD] [LAN] [Disabled]
Plug & Play OS [Yes]
This field allows you to use a Plug and Play (PnP) operating system to configure
the PCI bus slots instead of using the BIOS. When [Yes] is selected, interrupts may
be reassigned by the OS. If you installed a non-PnP OS or if you want to prevent
reassigning of interrupt settings, keep the default setting [No]. Configuration
options: [No] [Yes]
Reset Configuration Data [Disabled]
The Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) contains information about
non-PnP devices. It also holds the complete record of how the system was
configured the last time it was booted. Select [Enabled] if you want to clear these
data during the Power-On Self-Test (POST).
Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]
Quick Power-On-Self-Test [Enabled]
This field speeds up the Power-On-Self Test (POST) routine by skipping retesting
several times. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Boot Up Floppy Seek [Disabled]
When enabled, the BIOS will seek the floppy disk drive to determine whether the
drive has 40 or 80 tracks. Configuration options: [Disabled [Enabled]
