• User Interface
♦
Show "Hit <Del>..." – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
This field, if Enabled, will place "Hit Del" on screen during the boot process, to indicate when
you may press "Del" to enter the BIOS Setup menus.
♦
F1 Error Wait – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
If this field is [Enabled], the BIOS will display an Error message indicating when an error has
occurred during POST (power on self test) and wait for you to respond by hitting the F1 key.
If [Disabled], and an error occurs during POST, the BIOS will attempt to continue the boot
process.
♦
Config Box – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
This field, if Enabled, displays the Configuration Summary Box, which list all of the
configuration information for the system, at the completion of POST, but before the Operating
System is loaded.
♦
Splash Screen – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
•
If Splash Screen is [Enabled] it stays on screen, until the booted Operating System
changes it, if the Config Box option is Disabled.
•
If Config Box option is [Enabled], the Splash Screen stays on screen until the Config Box
is displayed.
The Splash Screen is a graphical image displayed as the default (Ampro Splash Screen) or a
user customized image on screen. Refer to the Splash Screen Customization topic later in this
chapter for instructions on how to customize the splash screen.
• Memory
♦
Memory Test – [Fast], [Standard], or [Exhaustive]
•
If this field is set to [Fast], only basic memory tests are performed during POST to shorten
POST time.
•
If this field is set to [Standard], more than basic tests are performed, but POST time is
increased.
•
If this field is set to [Exhaustive], more rigorous tests are performed on memory, but this
takes a significant amount of time for POST to complete.
♦
Memory Hole – [Disabled], [1MB], or [2MB]
This field specifies the size of an optional memory hole, below 16MB. Access to the memory
addresses inside the memory hole region are forwarded to the PC/104 bus, where memory
mapped PC/104 devices have access.
♦
Shadow D000-D3FF – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
These Shadow fields specify if BIOS option ROMs in the indicated segments should be
shadowed to RAM. Shadowing option ROMs can potentially speed up the operation of the
system. The indicated segments are only for option ROMs present on add-on PC/104 and
PC/104-Plus cards.
♦
Shadow D400-D7FF – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
♦
