when enabled.

Quick Power On Self Test

This option speeds up the Power-On Self Test (POST) conducted as soon as the computer is turned on. When enabled, the BIOS shortens or skips some of the items during the test. When it disabled, normal POST procedures resume.

Boot Sequence

This function determines the sequence in which the computer will search the drives for the disk operating system (i.e. DOS). The default value is "C, A, SCSI". The following options are available:

A:Computer will boot from the A (floppy) disk drive

C:Computer will boot from the C (hard) disk drive CDROM: Computer will boot from the CD-ROM disc drive SCSI: Computer will boot from the SCSI drive

D:Computer will boot from the D drive

E:Computer will boot from the E drive

F:Computer will boot from the F drive

LS120: Computer will boot from the LS-120 drive

Boot Up Floppy Seek

During POST, the BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed has 40 or 80 tracks. The 360 KB type has 40 tracks while the 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB all have 80 tracks.

Enabled BIOS searches the floppy drive to determine if it has 40 or 80 tracks. Note that BIOS cannot differentiate 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB type drives as they all have 80 tracks. Disabled BIOS will not search for the floppy drive type by track number. Note that there will not be any warning message if the drive installed is 360 KB. l

Boot Up NumLock Status

The default is "On".

On: Keypad boots up to number keys.

Off: Keypad boots up to arrow keys.

Boot Up System Speed

High: Sets the speed to high

Low: Sets the speed to low

IDE HDD Block Mode

Enabled: Enable IDE HDD Block Mode. BIOS will detect the block size of the HDD and send a block command automatically.

Disabled: Disable IDE HDD Block Mode

Gate A20 option

Normal: The A20 signal is controlled by the keyboard controller or chipset hardware
