Figure 2– 7. Setup 2 — Standard CMOS Setup
This Setup screen allows you to configure the following parameters:
! DATE and TIME — requires the numeric entry of mm:dd:yyyy. (Note full 4 digit year.) Day of
the week and calendar month are displayed. Time and date entries take effect as soon as they
are entered.
! HARD DISK — set the parameters for the drives connected to the I DE inter face. (No
parameters are displayed for an auto-detected HD.) When Auto TYPE is used, the MODE should
also be AUTO. When using any modern IDE drive larger than 512MB, AUTO is the best choice.
See “IDE Hard Disk Drives” below for more information.
! FLOPPY DISK — select the type of floppy drive(s) connected to the floppy drive interface. See
Floppy Drives below for more information.
! VIDEO — select the initial video mode. See “Video” below for more information.
! HALT ON — select the Power On Self Test (POST) response to errors. See “Error Halt” below
for more information.
! Base Memory, Extended Memory, Other Memory — displays the amount of memory
detected by the BIOS. Other Memory reports memory used for ROM shadowing the system
BIOS, video BIOS, SCSI BIOS, and any other system extensions. It is not available for general
OEM use. See “DRAM Memory” below for more information.
