key mode at boot-up.

Typematic Rate Enable this option to adjust the keystroke repeat rate.

Setting

Typematic Rate Choose the rate a character keeps repeating.

(Chars/Sec)

Typematic Choose how long after you press a key that a Delay (Msec) character begins repeating.

Security Option Choose Setup or System. Use this feature to prevent unauthorized system boot-up or use of BIOS Setup.
