HDD Access Control

This option determines the hard disk access method, which can be either read only or normal (read/write). When set to read only, the data in the hard disk is allowed to be read instead of being written.” Normal” allows the floppy to be read or written.

Available options: Disabled, Enabled

S.M.A.R.T for hard Disks

S.M.A.R.T is abbreviation of Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology .It is reliable and precautious techology. When Hard Disk disorder, It prevents Hard Disk from the loss of data.

BootUp Num-Lock

This item is used to activate the Num-Lock function upon system boot. If the setting is on, after a boot, the Num-Lock light is lit, and the user can automatically use the number keys.

Floppy Drive Swap

The option reverses the drive letter assignments of your floppy disk drives in the Swap A, B setting, otherwise leave on the setting to Disabled (No Swap).This works separately from the BIOS Features floppy disk swap feature. It is functionally the same as physically interchanging the connectors of the floppy disk drives. When <Enabled>, the BIOS swaps the floppy drive assignments so that Drive A becomes Drive B, and Drive B becomes Drive A under DOS.

Floppy Drive Seek

If the <Floppy Drive Seek> item is set to Enabled, the BIOS will seek the floppy <A> drive one time upon bootup.

PS/2 Mouse Support

The setting of Enabled allows the system to detect a PS/2 mouse on bootup. If detected, IRQ12 will be used for the PS/2 mouse. IRQ 12 will be reserved for expansion cards if a PS/2 mouse is not detected. Disabled will reserve IRQ12 for expansion cards and therefore the PS/2 mouse will not function.

Typematic Rate

This item specifies the speed at which a keyboard keystroke is repeated.

System Keyboard

The setting of <Absent> allows the system to boot without a keyboard attached to the computer, the setting of <Present> is in the contrary.

Primary Display

The setting of <Absent> allows the system to boot without a Primary Display attached to the computer, the setting of <Present> is in the contrary.

Password Check

This option enables password checking every time the computer is powered on or every time the BIOS Setup is executed. If Always is chosen, a user password prompt appears every time the computer is turned on. If Setup is chosen, the password prompt appears if the BIOS is executed.

Boot to OS/2 >64MB
