>Keyboard/Mouse Configuration

Bootup Num-Lock – [Off] or [On]

This field enables or disables the Num-Lock (Number Lock) keypad, including the 10-key numeric keys, to be turned on or off automatically when the system boots up. The field selection will remain unchanged until the Num-Lock key on the keyboard is pressed to change the Num-Lock state.

Typematic Rate – [Slow] or [Fast]

PS/2 Mouse Support – [Disabled], [Enabled], or [Auto]

∗ If [Disabled] is selected, the PS/2 Mouse will not have access to system resources and will not be active after boot up.

∗ If [Enabled] is selected, the PS/2 Mouse can be used and will have access to system resources after boot up.

If [Auto] is selected, the BIOS will detect the PS/2 Mouse automatically, if present, during the boot process. The PS/2 Mouse will have access to system resources and be active after boot up.

>Remote Access Configuration (Serial Console or Console Redirection)

Remote Access – [Disabled] or [Enabled]

This field enables Remote access (Serial Console or Console Redirection) through one of the serial ports to a remote serial terminal. If this field is set to [Disabled], none of the supporting features are listed on screen.
