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.

set at on the number keys will be activated, if it is set at off the arrow keys will be
activated.
