Chapter 2:BIOS Configuration

S.M.A.R.T. for Hard Disks

Set this option to Enabled to permit AMIBIOS to use the SMART (System Management and Reporting Technologies). The setting is either Enabled or Disabled (default).

Boot Up Num Lock

Set this option to Off to turn the Num Lock key off when the computer is booted so you can use the arrow keys on both the numeric keypad and the keyboard.

Floppy Drive Swap

Set this option to Enabled to permit drives A: and B: to be swapped. The setting is either Enabled or Disabled (default).

Floppy Drive Seek

Set this option to Enabled to specify that floppy drive A: will perform a Seek operation at system boot. The setting is either Disabled (default) or Enabled.

PS/2 Mouse Support

Set this option to Enabled (default) to enable AMIBIOS support for a PS/2-type mouse. Disabling mouse will also free up IRQ12.

Typematic Rate

The setting is either Fast (default) or Slow.

System Keyboard

This option does not specify if a keyboard is attached to the computer. Rather, it specifies if an error message is displayed when a keyboard is not attached. This option permits you to configure workstations with no keyboards.
