Language (or press F2)

Change the Computer Setup

 

language.

 

 

Boot Options

Enable/disable

 

 

QuickBoot, which starts the

 

 

computer more quickly by

 

 

eliminating some startup tests. (If

 

 

you suspect a memory failure

 

 

and want to test memory

 

 

automatically during startup, you

 

 

may want to disable QuickBoot.)

 

 

MultiBoot, which enables you to

 

 

set a startup sequence that can

 

 

include any drives and PCI

 

 

network adapters in the system.

 

 

For instructions, refer to

 

 

“Changing the Startup Sequence

 

 

with MultiBoot” in Chapter 6.

 

 

 

Device Options

 

Enable/disable the embedded

 

numeric keypad at startup.

 

 

 

 

Enable multiple standard pointing

 

 

devices at startup, or disable this

 

 

feature so the computer supports

 

 

only a single (usually

 

 

non-standard) pointing device at

 

 

startup.

 

 

Enable/disable USB legacy

 

 

support for one USB mouse and

 

 

one USB keyboard. (When USB

 

 

legacy support is enabled, the

 

 

keyboard and mouse work

 

 

without a loaded USB driver.)

 

 

Set an optional external monitor

 

 

or overhead projector connected

 

 

to a video card in a docking base

 

 

as the primary device. (When the

 

 

computer display is set as

 

 

secondary, the computer must be

 

 

shut down before undocking.)

 

 

Change the parallel port mode

 

 

from EPP (default) to standard,

 

 

bidirectional, EPP, or ECP.
