BIOS SETUP
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 Floppy Seek
This feature controls whether the BIOS checks for a floppy drive while booting up. If it cannot detect one (either due to improper configuration or its absence), it will flash an error message.
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.
Typematic Rate Setting
When disabled, continually holding down a key on your keyboard will generate only one instance. When enabled, you can set the two typematic controls listed next. By default, this field is set to Disabled.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
When the typematic rate is enabled, the system registers repeated keystrokes speeds. Settings are from 6 to 30 characters per second.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
When the typematic rate is enabled, this item allows you to set the time interval for displaying the first and second characters. By default, this item is set to 250msec.
Security Option
This field allows you to limit access to the System and Setup. The default value is Setup. When you select System, the system prompts for the User Password every time you boot up. When you select Setup, the system always boots up and prompts for the Supervisor Password only when the Setup utility is called up.
APIC Mode
APIC stands for Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller. The default setting is Enabled.
