Top Performance, Load Fail-Safe Defaults

English

3.9.Top Performance

ø"Top Performance" allows faster system start. However, the result may differ depending on system specifications (includes hardware and OS). For example, certain hardware may become unstable under Windows XP but work reliably under the Windows NT operating system. Thus, select Disabled under "Top Performance" if system hardware is affected.

3.10.Load Fail-Safe Defaults

øUse this option to reset your BIOS settings to the system defaults. You should only use this if you are encountering serious problems.

Please select <Y> and <Enter> to load Fail-Safe defaults. Once this is loaded, your system may be slowed since this uses a minimal performance setting to allow stable system running.

3.11.Load Optimized Defaults

øLike the Fail-Safe mode above, this option loads the BIOS default settings, but runs the system at optimal performance.

Please select <Y> and <Enter> to load optimized defaults.

3.12.Set User Password

øUse this to set the password that is needed to either enter into the BIOS or to boot the system. Entering in a blank field will disable the password.

Please input an 8 character long password and then select Enter. You will be required to re-enter the password for confirmation. If you wish to remove the need for password entry, leave the entry blank and then select Enter. BIOS will then display "PASSWORD DISABLED". Once you have completed the password setting, you will need to go to "Advanced BIOS Features" and select "Password Check" for setup of password check.

3.13.Save & Exit Setup

øTo save any changes you made to the BIOS you must choose this option. The system will automatically exit setup and perform a system restart. Pushing <F10> will have the same effect.

Push <Y> and <Enter> to save and exit setup. If you do not wish to save, select <N> or <Esc> to return to the main menu.

3.14.Exit Without Saving

øUse this option instead of the one above if you wish to exit the BIOS without saving the changes you have made. Pushing <ESC> will have the same effect.

Push <Y> and <Enter> to exit setup. You can return to the main menu by pushing <N>or <Esc>.
