Reserved Memory allows you to designate a region of system board memory that can be supplied by an expansion card. You should not enable the reserved memory feature unless you are using an expansion card that requires special addressing.

For example, you may have a memory expansion card that needs to be addressed starting at 15 megabytes (MB). Selecting the 15M - 16M setting for Reserved Mem- ory specifies that the base memory from 15 to 16 MB comes from the memory expansion card (the base memory below the 15-MB address comes from the dual-in- line memory modules [DIMMs] on the system board).

Reserved Memory has the following settings:

None (the default)

15M - 16M

CPU Speed indicates the processor speed at which your system boots.

Press the left- or right-arrow key to toggle CPU Speed between the resident micro- processor’s rated speed (the default) and a lower speed. This feature should not be used under normal operations.

Num Lock determines whether your system boots with the Num Lock mode acti- vated on 101- or 102-key keyboards (it does not apply to 84-key keyboards).

When Num Lock mode is activated, the rightmost bank of keys on your keyboard pro- vides the mathematical and numeric functions shown at the tops of the keys. When Num Lock mode is turned off, these keys provide cursor-control functions according to the label on the bottom of each key.
