The factory default setting is Enabled.

This option lets you choose one of two methods to enable the keypad that is embedded in the internal keyboard.

Fn Key Only — The keypad is only enabled when you hold down the <Fn> key.

By Num Lk — The keypad is enabled when (1) the Num Lock LED is on and (2) no external keyboard is attached. Note that the

Keypad

system might not notice immediately when an external keyboard is detached.

enabled during POST. Use the check box to enable / disable this feature.

 

 

The factory default setting is Enabled.

 

This field lets you use the <Scroll Lock> key on an external PS/2 keyboard the same way you use the <Fn> key on the computer's

 

internal keyboard. Use the check box to enable / disable this feature.

Fn Key Emulation USB keyboards cannot emulate the <Fn> key if you are running an ACPI operating system such as Microsoft® Windows® XP. USB keyboards will only emulate the <Fn> key in non-ACPI mode (e.g., when you are running a DOS).

The factory default setting is Enabled.

This field can speed up the boot process by bypassing some compatibility steps.

Fast Boot

 

 

Minimal — Boot quickly unless the BIOS has been updated, memory changed, or the previous POST did not complete.

 

 

Thorough — Do not skip any steps in the boot process.
