Typematic Rate Setting (Disabled)
If this item is enabled, you can use the following two items to set the typematic rate and the
typematic delay settings for your keyboard.
• Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec): Use this item to define how many charac-
ters per second are generated by a held-down key.
• Typematic Delay (Msec): Use this item to define how many milliseconds
must elapse before a held-down key begins generating repeat characters.
Security Option (Setup)
If you have installed password protection, this item defines if the password is required at
system start up, or if it is only required when a user tries to enter the Setup Utility.
APIC Mode (Enabled)
This item allows you to enable or disable the APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt
Controller) mode. APIC provides symmetric multi-processing (SMP) for systems, allowing
support for up to 60 processors.

This item is only required if you have installed more than 64 MB of memory and you are
running the OS/2 operating system. Otherwise, leave this item at the default.
HDD S.M.A.R.T Capability (Disabled)
The S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) system is a

Report No FDD For WIN 95 (Yes)

the memory test, try to add tomes in this field.
