Under the “Start-Up Center” sub-menu, the Setup program not only allows the user to select which devices are to be used (yes or no) for booting up the system, but also indicates their order of precedence when more than one is enabled: flexible disk drive, CD-ROM drive, or hard disk drive.

Power Menu (BIOS version: GX.07.xx)

The “Power” menu allows the user to set the standby delay. It also allows the system administrator to decide whether the mouse is enabled as a means of reactivating the system from Standby. It is also possible to specify whether the space-bar is enabled as a means of reactivating the system from Off.

Summary Configuration Screen (BIOS version: GX.07.xx)

You can press while the initial “Vectra” logo screen is being displayed to run the Setup program (as described in the previous sub-sections).

Alternatively, you can press to view the summary configuration screen, an example of which is depicted on the next page. By default, this remains

on the screen for 20 seconds, but by pressing once, it can be held on the

screen until is pressed again, or until is pressed. Pressing will cause the PC to be turned off.
