Section 4: BIOS Setup Utility

Post Errors

When enabled, this category allows the system to display the “Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to SETUP” and pause if errors occur during boot. If disabled, the system will ignore any errors and will always attempt to boot.

Numlock at Boot

This selection activates Numlock upon boot. Setting this to Auto activates Numlock if the BIOS detects a numeric keyboard. It may also be turned ON or OFF.

Integrated Peripherals

The Integrated Peripherals submenu (Figure 4-6) allows you to individually enable or modify the drives, I/O ports, and other settings. Use the up and down arrow keys <−/↓> to select a category and the plus and minus keys <+/-> to change the settings.
