The BIOS Setup Utility

Video Card

This sets the type of monitor required for your computer. The display peripheral supports VGA/EGA, CGA80, CGA40, Monochrome (MONO), or no monitor at all. Use the <+/-> keys to toggle between the options.

Keyboard

If the keyboard category is set to INSTALLED, the computer will test the keyboard during boot. If set for NOT INSTALLED, the system will ignore any keyboard errors and always attempt to boot. Set this for INSTALLED unless using the system board in an application which does not require a keyboard.

Setting the CMOS Extended Screen

You can toggle between the Main screen and the Extended screen (Figure 4-3) using the PgUp and PgDn key.
