Hyper-Threading Technology
Available options are [Enabled] and [Disabled]. Select [Enable] to support
Hyper-Threading Technology and vice versa.
Quick Power On Self Test (POST):
Enable this function to reduce the amount of time required to run the POST (Power
On Self Test). BIOS will save time by skipping some items during POST. It is
recommended that you disable this setting. Discovering a problem during boot up is
better than loosing data during your work.
First/Second/Third/Boot Other Device:
This option sets the sequence of drives BIOS attempts to boot from after POST
completes. BIOS will search these drives for an operating system.
Swap Floppy Drive:
Enabling this function will swap the floppy drive assignment so that drive A will
function as drive B, and drive B will function as drive A. Note that the boot
sequence assignment mentioned directly above does not include booting from floppy
drive B. This function is useful if floppy drives B and A are of a different format and
you want to boot from floppy drive B.
Boot up Floppy Seek:
This is a set up check for floppy power-on after starting the computer system.
Boot Up NumLock Status:
This function defines the keyboard's number pad as number keys or arrow keys. If it
is set at On the number keys will be activated, if it is set at Off the arrow keys will
be activated.
Gate A20 Option:
This allows you to set the Gate A20 status. When set to [Fast], Gate A20 is cont
rolled by chipset. When set to [Normal], Gate A20 is cont rolled by a specific pin
from the keyboard controller. Available options are [Fast] and [Normal].
Keyboard Interface:
1. Typematic Rate Setting
When enabled, you can set the following two-typematic control items. When
disabled, the keyboard controller determines keystrokes arbitrarily in your system.
2. Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
The typematic rate sets the rate at which characters on the screen repeat when a key
is pressed and held down.
