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 MB. Selecting 15M - 16M for Reserved Memory specifies that only part of the base memory comes from the dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) on the system board, whereas the base memory from 15 MB to 16 MB comes from the memory expansion card.

Reserved Memory has the following settings:

Num Lock determines whether your system boots with the Num Lock mode activated on 101- or 102-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, each key provides the cursor-control function (if any) indicated at the bottom of the key.

ACPI controls the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. If the operating sys- tem supports ACPI and ACPI is toggled On, pressing the power button momentarily places the system in a power-saving mode. You can turn the system completely off by pressing and holding the power button for more than 4 seconds. When ACPI is acti- vated (On), IRQ 9 is not available for use by expansion cards.
