Description
Allows you to define your
system's booting process,
whether to skip some POST
routines or proceed with
the normal booting
process.
When enabled, BIOS is in
graphical mode and
displays only an
identification logo during
POST and while booting.
Then, the screen displays
the operating system
prompt (as in DOS) or logo
(as in Windows). If any
error occurs while booting,
the system automatically
switches to the text mode.
You may also switch to the
text mode while booting by
pressing F9 after you hear
a beep that indicates the
activation of the keyboard.
Allows you to activate or
deactivate the Num Lock
function upon booting.
Lets you specify whether
you want BIOS to perform
or bypass the RAM test
during POST.
