MS-9826 Mainboard

Quick Boot

Enabling this setting will cause the BIOS power-on self test routine to skip some of its tests during bootup for faster system boot.

Quiet Boot

This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST mes- sages with the motherboard or system manufacturer's full-screen logo. When it is enabled, the BIOS will display the full-screen logo during the boot-up sequence, hiding normal POST messages.

When it is disabled, the BIOS will display the normal POST messages, instead of the full-screen logo.

Please note that enabling this BIOS feature often adds 2-3 seconds of delay to the booting sequence. This delay ensures that the logo is displayed for a sufficient amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this BIOS feature for a faster boot-up time.

AddOn ROM Display Mode

This item is used to determine the display mode when an optional ROM is initialized during POST. When set to [Force BIOS], the display mode used by AMI BIOS is used. Select [Keep Current] if you want to use the display mode of optional ROM.

Bootup Num-Lock

This setting is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on. Setting to [On] will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered on. Setting to [Off] will allow users to use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad.

PS/2 Mouse Support

Select [Enabled] if you need to use a PS/2-interfaced mouse in the operating system.

Boot Device Priority, Removable Drives

The items allow you to set the sequence of boot devices/removable drives. First press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu. Then you may use the arrow keys ( −↓ ) to select the desired device, then press <+>, <-> or <PageUp>, <PageDown> key to move it up/down in the priority list.
