Wait for 'F1' on Error
When set to Enabled (default), the system will display the Press <F1> to RESUME
message if an error occurs during boot up diagnostic tests. If this setting is Disabled, any
non-fatal errors will not generate the statement, but the AMIBIOS will display the
appropriate error message.
Hit 'DEL' Message Display
When set to Enabled (default), the system provides a message during boot up that the
AMIBIOS Setup program can be accessed by hitting the key. Disabling this parameter
DEL
prevents the message from displaying.
Floppy Drive Seek at Boot
When set to Enabled, AMIBIOS performs a Seek command on floppy disk drive A before
booting the system. The default setting is Disabled.
Password Checking
This parameter prevents unauthorized system boot up or use of AMIBIOS Setup. The
default setting is Setup, enabling the system to prompt for a password before allowing you to
enter AMIBIOS Setup. When set to Always, the password prompt appears each time the
system is powered on. When set to Change Password, you can press at the password
ENTER
prompt to disable this parameter.
OS/2 Compatible Mode
This parameter is set to No by default. When set to Yes, this setting optimizes the system for
use with the OS/2 operating system.
Generate NMI on System Error
This parameter (Enabled by default) allows the BIOS to stop the system when a catastrophic
error is detected. Stopping the system prevents the error from corrupting your data. If you
set this parameter to Disabled, then data on your system could become corrupted.
Pentium Pro Microcode Update
This parameter allows you to disable an installed processor patch, if the patch causes the
system to operate improperly. Any patch installed by Intergraph has been certified for use
with the system, so this parameter is set to Enabled by default. Use Disabled if a non-
Intergraph certified patch is applied and problems occur.
