Introduction of the BIOS
Boot Other Device:
Two options are available: Enabled or Disabled. The default setting is Enabled. This setting
allows the BIOS to try three kinds of boot devices that set from the above three items.
Swap Floppy Drive:
This item can be set as Enabled or Disabled. The default setting is Disabled. When this
feature is enabled, you don't need to open the computer case to swap the position of floppy
disk drive connectors. Drive A can be set as drive B and drive B can be set as drive A.
Boot Up Floppy Seek:
When the computer boots up, the BIOS detects if the system has a FDD or not. When this
item is enable, if the BIOS detects no floppy drive, it will display a floppy disk drive error
message. If this item is disabled, the BIOS will skip this test. The default setting is Disabled.
Boot Up NumLock Status:
On: At boot up, the Numeric Keypad is in numeric mode. (Default Settings)
Off: At boot up, the Numeric Keypad is in cursor control mode.
Gate A20 Option
This item allows you to select how gate A20 is handled. Gate A20 is a device used to address
memory above 1 Mbytes. When set to Fast, the system chipset controls Gate A20.When set
to Normal, a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast
improves system speed, particularly with OS/2 and Windows.
Typematic Rate Setting:
This item allows you to adjust the keystroke repeat rate. When set to Enabled, you can set
the two keyboard typematic controls that follow (Typematic Rate and Typematic Rate
Delay). If this item is set to Disabled, the BIOS will use the default setting. The default
setting is Enabled.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec):
When you press a key continuously, the keyboard will repeat the keystroke according to the
rate you have set (Unit: characters/second）. Eight options are available: 6 . 8 . 10 . 12
3-15
