First/Second/Third Boot Device
These fields determine the drive that the system searches first for an operating system. The options available include Floppy, LS/ZIP,
Boot Other Device
These fields allow the system to search for an operating system from other devices other than the ones selected in the First/Second/Third Boot Device.
Swap Floppy Drive
This item allows you to determine whether or not to enable Swap Floppy Drive. When enabled, the BIOS swaps floppy drive assignments so that Drive A becomes Drive B, and Drive B becomes Drive A. By default, this field is set to Disabled.

Boot Up NumLock Status
This allows you to activate the NumLock function after you power up the system.
Gate A20 Option
This field allows you to select how Gate A20 is worked. Gate A20 is a device used to address memory above 1 MB.
