BIOS Setup

If you select User Type, related information will be asked to enter to the following items. Enter the information directly from the keyboard and press <Enter>. Such information should be provided in the documentation form your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer.

CYLS.

Number of cylinders

HEADS

 

number of heads

PRECOMP

 

write precomp

LANDZONE

 

Landing zone

 

SECTORS

 

number of sectors

If a hard disk has not been installed select NONE and press <Enter>.

Floppy Drive A / Drive B

The category identifies the types of floppy disk drive A or drive B that has been installed in the computer.

None

360K, 5.25 in.

1.2M, 5.25 in.

720K, 3.5 in.

1.44M, 3.5 in.

2.88M, 3.5 in.

No floppy drive installed

5.25inch PC-type standard drive; 360K byte capacity.

5.25inch AT-type high-density drive; 1.2M byte capacity (3.5 inch when 3 Mode is Enabled).

3.5inch double-sided drive; 720K byte capacity

3.5inch double-sided drive; 1.44M byte capacity.

3.5inch double-sided drive; 2.88M byte capacity.

Boot Sector Virus Protection

If it is set to enable, the category will flash on the screen when there is any attempt to write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk drive. The system will halt and the following error message will appear in the mean time. You can run anti-virus program to locate the problem.

Enabled

Activate automatically when the system boots up causing a

 

warning message to appear when anything attempts to

 

access the boot sector or hard disk partition table

Disabled

No warning message to appear when anything attempts to

 

 

access the boot sector or hard disk partition table. (Default

 

Value)

Memory

The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the

BIOS.

Base Memory

The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in the system.

The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512 K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more memory installed on the motherboard.

Extended Memory

The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST.

This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's memory address map.

Other Memory

This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K address space. This is memory that can be used for different applications.

DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free for application programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM
