All, But Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or disk
error; it will stop for all other errors.
Memory
The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power on Self
Test)
of the BIOS.
Base Memory
The POST will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory
installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512K for
systems with 512K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640K for
system with 640K or more memory installed on the motherboard.
Extended Memory
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the
POST. This is the amount of memory located above IMB in the CPU'S
memory address map.
Other Memory
This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K address space. This
is memory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to
load device drivers in an effort to keep as much base memory free for
application programs. The BIOS is the most frequent user of this RAM area
43
since this is where it shadows RAM.
3.3 BIOS Features Setup
This section allows you to configure your system for basic operation. You
have the opportunity to select the system`s default speed, boot-up sequence,
keyboard operation, shadowing and security.

Enabled Activates automatically when the system boots up causing a
warning message to appear when anything attempts to access
the boot sector or hard disk partition table.
Disabled No warning message will appear when anything attempts to
access the boot sector or hard disk partition table.
NOTE:
Many disk diagnostic programs which attempt to access the boot sector table
can cause the above warning message. If you will be running such a program,
we recommend that you first disable Virus Protection before band.
CPU Internal Cache/External Cache
These two categories speed up memory access. However, it depends on
CPU/chipset design. The default value is enable.

80tracks. 360K type is 40 tracks while 760K, 1.2M and 1.44M are all 80
tracks.
Enabled BIOS searches for floppy disk drive to determine if it is 40 or
80 tracks. Note that BIOS can not tell from 720K, 1.2M or
1.44M drive type as they are all 80 tracks.
Disabled BIOS will not search for the type of floppy disk drive by track
number. Note that there will not be any warning message if the
drive installed is 360K.

Gate A20 Option
This entry allows you to select how the gate A20 is handled. The gate A20 is a
device used to address memory above 1 Mbytes. Initially, the gate A20 was
handled via a pin on the keyboard. Today, while keyboards still provide this
support, it is more common, and much faster, for the system chipset to provide
support for gate A20.
Normal keyboard
Fast chipset
Typematic Rate Setting
This determines if the typematic rate is to be used. When disabled, continually
holding down a key on your keyboard will generate only one instance. In other
words, the BIOS will only report that the key is down.
When the typematic rate is enabled, the BIOS will report as before, but it will
then wait a moment, and , if the key is still down, it will begin the report that
the key has been depressed repeatedly. For example, you would use such a
feature to accelerate cursor movements with the arrow keys.
Enabled Enabled typematic rate
Disabled Disable typematic rate

3.4 Supervisor/User Password Setting
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The
differences between them are:
supervisor password: can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
user password: just can enter but do not have the right to change the options of
the setup menus.
When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center
of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS
memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again
and press . You may also press to abort the selection and not
enter a password.
To disable a password, just press when you are prompted to enter the
password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the
password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every
time
you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing
any part of your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to
request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent
unauthorized use of your computer.
49
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup
Menu and its Security option (see Section 4). If the Security option is set to
"System", the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If
set to "Setup", prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.]
