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.
