System Keyboard
This parameter enables or disables BIOS keyboard testing. Acceptable values are Absent and
Present. If Present (default) is selected, the BIOS tests for the keyboard when the system
boots and provides an error message if the keyboard is not present. If Absent is selected, the
BIOS does not test for the presence of a keyboard.
Typematic Rate
This parameter defines the rate at which a keystroke repeats when you press and hold down a
key. Accepted values are 15, 20, or 30 (default) characters per second.
System Boot Up Num Lock
This parameter, when set to On (default), disables the arrow keys on the numeric keypad. The
Num Lock option on the keyboard can be turned off and on while the system is operating.
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 Enable (default), the system provides a message during boot up that the
AMIBIOS Setup program can be accessed by hitting the key. Disabling this
DELETE
parameter 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. Setup (the
default) enables the system to prompt for a password before allowing you to enter AMIBIOS
Setup. If you select Always, the password prompt appears each time the system is powered
on. The Change Password value enables you to press at the password prompt to
ENTER
disable this parameter.
