[. . . ] -Floppy check: Verifies floppy drive type. -Summary screen: Displays system configuration. -Key Click: Disabled (default) or Enabled. -Keyboard auto-repeat rate: 2, 6, 10, 13. 3, 18. 5, 21. 8, 26. 7, or 30/second. -Keyboard auto-repeat delay: 1/4, 1/2 (default), 3/4, 1 second. Note: The CD-ROM drive automatically becomes the boot drive if you insert a CD formatted to emulate a boot disk. The CD-ROM drive will then assume drive letter C:, and subsequent drives will get the next available drive letter. System Memory Reports quantity of system memory. Extended Memory Reports quantity of extended memory. 46 Chapter 3 - Using SETUP Advanced Menu Warning! Setting these items incorrectly could cause your system to malfunction. Never needlessly change from the defaults. The Advanced Menu reports or controls the status of Integrated Peripherals, PCI Devices, Advanced Chipset Control, Plug & Play O/S, Reset Configuration Data, and Large Disk Access Mode. Integrated Peripherals Configures your serial and parallel ports, as well as your on-board floppy disk controller, and your on-board IDE controller. The following list describes each of these parameters. 1st COM Port When 1st COM Port is set to Auto, the system will automatically set the interrupt and IRQ for that port. Otherwise this option allows you to choose (from a list) the I/O address and IRQ of the 9-pin serial port. 2nd COM Port When 2nd COM Port is set to Auto, the system will automatically set the interrupt and IRQ for that port. Otherwise this option allows you to choose (from a list) the I/O address and IRQ of the 25-pin serial port. Default: Auto. 47 Chapter 3 - Using SETUP LPT Port Sets the parallel port designation. This allows you to specify the parallel port address and IRQ, which otherwise are factory set. LPT Mode Allows you to set the parallel port communication mode to match the capabilities of your parallel port device. Settings: Output Only, Bidirectional or ECP. Diskette Controller Enables or disables the on-board floppy diskette controller. Local Bus IDE Adapter Configures the on-board Local Bus IDE controller, which controls up to four PCI local bus devices. Settings: Disabled, Primary, Secondary, Both. Default: Both. 48 Chapter 3 - Using SETUP PCI Devices The PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Devices submenu allows you to enable or disable the integrated SCSI and LAN options. PCI SCSI Device Enables/disables the built-in SCSI port, if present. PCI Ethernet Device Enables/disables the on-board AMD Ethernet controller, if present. [. . . ] SETUP - This refers (usually) to the program that is used to load the CMOS data base with input from the user. SETUP sets the date, time, and configuration of disk drives installed on the system. Software - The programs that enable your computer to perform the tasks and functions you indicate. Memory chips that do not require refresh circuitry, as do conventional RAM chips. [. . . ]
