The choice: Floppy, LS120, HDD, SCSI, CDROM, Disabled.

Disabled: Floppy A & B will be not swapped.

Boot Up Floppy Seek: During Power-On-Self-Test (POST), BIOS will deter- mine if the floppy disk drive installed is 40 or 80 tracks. Only 360K type is 40 tracks while 760K, 1.2MB and 1.44MB are all 80 tracks. The default is Enabled. Enabled: The BIOS will search the floppy disk drive to determine if it is 40 or

80 tracks.

Disabled: The BIOS will not search for the type of floppy disk drive by track number.

Note: BIOS can not tell the difference between 720K, 1.2MB and 1.44MB drive types as they are all 80 tracks.

Boot Up NumLock Status: This controls the state of the NumLock key when the system boots. The default is On.
