BIOS-Description

Advanced CMOS Setup

Quick Boot

Set this option to Enabled to instruct AMIBIOS to boot quickly when the computer is powered on. This option replaces the former Above 1 MB Memory Test Advanced Setup option. The settings are:

Setting

Description

Disabled AMIBIOS tests all system memory. AMIBIOS waits up to 40 seconds for a READY signal from the IDE hard disk drive. AMIBIOS waits for 0.5 seconds after sending a RESET signal to the IDE drive to allow the IDE drive time to get ready again. AMIBIOS checks for a <DEL> key press and runs Setup if the key has been pressed.

Enabled AMIBIOS does not test system memory above 1 MB.

AMIBIOS does not wait up to 40 seconds for a READY signal from the IDE hard disk drive. If a READY signal is not received immediately from the IDE drive, AMIBIOS does not configure that drive. AMIBIOS does not wait for 0.5 seconds after sending a RESET signal to the IDE drive to allow the IDE drive time to get ready again.

The Optimal default setting is Enabled. The Fail Safe default setting is Disabled.

BootUp Sequence

Choose the type of the boot device and the order to boot from. Possible settings are „C:,A:,CDROM“, „A:, C:, CDROM“and „CDROM, A:, C:“.

BootUp Num-Lock

Set this option to Off to turn the Num Lock key off when the computer is booted so you can use the arrow keys on both the numeric keypad and the keyboard. The settings are On or Off. The Optimal and Fail Safe default settings are On.

Floppy Drive Swap

Set this option to Enabled to permit drives A: and B: to be swapped. The settings are Enabled or Disabled. The Optimal and Fail Safe default settings are Disabled.

System Keyboard

This option specifies that a keyboard is attached to the computer. The settings are Present or Absent. The Optimal and Fail Safe default settings are Absent.

Primary Display

This option specifies the type of display monitor and adapter in the computer. The settings are Mono, CGA40x25, CGA80x25, VGA/EGA, or Absent. The Optimal and Fail Safe default settings are Absent.

Password Check

This option enables password checking every time the computer is powered on or every time 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 Setup is executed. The Optimal and Fail Safe default settings are Setup.

OS/2 Compatible Mode

Set this option to Enabled to permit AMIBIOS to run with IBM OS/2. This in only necessary if more than 64MB of system dram is present. The settings are Enabled or Disabled. The Optimal and Fail Safe default settings are Disabled.
