3.3-9 Load Fail-Safe Defaults

This option opens a dialog box that lets you install fail-safe defaults for all
appropriate items in the Setup Utility: Press <Y> and the <Enter> to
install the defaults. Press <N> and then <Enter> to not install the defaults.
The fail-safe defaults place no great demands on the system and are generally
stable. If your system is not functioning correctly, try installing the fail-safe
defaults as a first step in getting your system working properly again. If you
only want to install fail-safe defaults for a specific option, select and display
that option, and then press <F6>.

3.3-10 Load Optimized Defaults

This option opens a dialog box that lets you install optimized defaults for all
appropriate items in the Setup Utility. Press <Y> and then <Enter> to
install the defaults. Press <N> and then <Enter> to not install the de-
faults. The optimized defaults place demands on the system that may be
greater than the performance level of the components, such as the CPU
and the memory. When your hardware does not support the "Optimized
Defaults", fatal system errors or instability may occur. If you only want to
install setup defaults for a specific option, select and display that option,
and then press <F7>.
Users please remain the factory BIOS default setting of "Load Optimized
Defaults" when install Operation System onto your system.

of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection.
To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter
password. A message will confirm the password being disabled. Once the
password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter BIOS Setup
freely.
