ADVANCED CMOS The descriptions for the system options listed below show the values as they appear if

SETUP OPTIONS you have not yet run Advanced CMOS Setup. Once values have been defined, they display each time Advanced CMOS Setup is run.

Quick Boot

This option allows you to have the AMIBIOS boot quickly when the computer is powered on or go through more complete testing.

When this option is set to Disabled, AMIBIOS tests all system memory. It waits up to 40 seconds for a READY signal from the IDE hard disk drive. It waits for .5 seconds after sending a RESET signal to the IDE drive to allow the drive time to get ready again. It also checks whether the user has pressed the <Del> key and runs the AMIBIOS Setup program if the key has been pressed.

If the option is set to Enabled, AMIBIOS checks only the first 1MB of system memory. It does not wait up to 40 seconds for a READY signal from the IDE hard disk drive. If a READY signal is not received immediately, AMIBIOS does not configure the drive. It does not wait for .5 seconds after sending a RESET signal to the IDE drive to allow the IDE drive time to get ready again.

If you have set your system up for a quick boot, you cannot run AMIBIOS Setup at system boot, because there is no delay for the "Hit DEL if you want to run SETUP" message.

The Setup screen displays the system option:

Quick Boot

Available options are:

Disabled

Enabled

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave ARMD Emulation

These options specify the type of ARMD (ATAPI Removable Media Device) emulation used for a non-disk device attached to the specified IDE device.

If the option is set to Auto, AMIBIOS automatically determines the proper emulation type and will support particular storage devices with ATAPI interface. The default emulation types are Floppy for LS120, Hard Disk for MO and Hard Disk for IOMEGA Zip.
