3.4.2 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, BIOS shortens or skips some of the items during the test. When disabled, the computer conducts normal POST procedures.

3.4.3 Boot Sequence

This function determines the sequence in which the computer will search the drives for the disk operating system (i.e. DOS). The BIOS provides the folllowing boot sequences:

A,C, SCSI

C,A, SCSI (Default)

C, CDROM, A

CDROM, C, A

D, A, SCSI

E, A, SCSI

F, A, SCSI

SCSI, A, C

3.4.4 Boot Up Floppy Seek

During POST, BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed is 40 or 80 tracks. A 360 KB type drive is 40 tracks; while 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB type drives are all 80 tracks.

Enabled	BIOS searches the floppy drive to determine if it is 40 or 80
	tracks. Note that BIOS cannot differentiate 720 KB, 1.2
	MB, and 1.44 MB type drives as they are all 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.
