10.02.3 SETUP WINDOW
This section describes the five options of the Setup Window. These are:
•
Standard Setup: offers the options to set the time, date, hard disk parameters, and
floppy drives.
•
Advanced Setup: handles options and features such as key repetition settings, boot
sequence, NUM LOCK and password checking, shadowing, ...
•
Chipset Setup: sets chipset-specific options and features.
•
Power Management Setup: sets power conservation options.
•
Peripheral Setup: sets I/O controller-related options.
The Advanced Setup, Chipset Setup, Power Management Setup and Peripheral Setup are
described in the following pages with both Fail-Safe Defaults and Optimal Defaults
values.
Whenever you are not sure about a certain setting, you may refer to the list of default
values. The list of defaults is provided in the event that a value has been changed and one
wishes to set this option to its original value. Loading the Optimal or Fail-Safe defaults
will affect all the options and will reset options previously altered.
The Fail-Safe default settings consist of the safest set of parameters. Use them if the
system is behaving erratically. They should always work but do not provide optimal
system performance.
The Optimal default values provide optimum performance settings for all devices and
system features.
These default values have been provided to give control over the system. However, the
values for these options should be changed only if the user has a full understanding of the
timing relationships involved.
