System Boot Up Sequence
This parameter specifies the device sequence for system boot up. The default is C:, A:, which
means the system attempts to boot from drive C first. If unsuccessful, it attempts to boot from
drive A. By default, C: is the system hard disk drive and A: is the floppy disk drive. Change
this parameter to A:, C: to boot the system from a diskette in the floppy disk drive. Refer also
to Operating System Boot Device parameter in "Chipset Setup."
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
disable this parameter.
ISA Video Shadow C000, 32K
ROM shadowing is a procedure in which BIOS code is copied from ROM to RAM when the
system boots. When set to Enabled (the default) the BIOS then executes from RAM,
providing faster access time and improving system performance.
ISA Adaptor Shadow XXXX, 16K
For ISA boards that contain a BIOS on ROM, Enabled allows you to tell the ISA board BIOS
to be copied from the ISA board ROM to system board RAM. An ISA board BIOS executes
faster from system board RAM than from the ISA board ROM. All of the ISA Adapter ROM
parameters are set to Disabled by default.
NMI on System Error
This parameter halts the system when a catastrophic error is detected. This prevents the error
from corrupting your data. The default is Enabled.
NOTE The following Advanced Setup parameters are useful only if an IDE disk drive is connected to
the system.
IDE Block Mode
This parameter enables transfer of data in blocks (multi-sector) for both read and write
operations. This option is set to Disabled by default.
NOTE To use the following Advanced Setup parameters, the hard disk drive must support LBA
mode, and it must be formatted with LBA mode enabled.
