[. . . ] The BIOS shorten or skip some check during the POST. First Boot Device / Second Boot Device / Third Boot Device / Boot Other Device Select the drive to boot first, second and third in the [First Boot Device], [Second Boot Device], and [Third Boot Device] items respectively. The BIOS will boot the operating system according to the sequence of the drive selected. Set [Boot Other Device] to [Enabled] if you wish to boot from another device other than these three items. Boot Up Floppy Seek When set to [Enabled], the BIOS will check whether the floppy disk drive is installed or not. Boot Up NumLock Status This item determines the default state of the numeric keypad at system booting up. [On]: The numeric keypad functions as number keys. [Off]: The numeric keypad functions as arrow keys. Security Option This item determines when the system will prompt for password - every time the system boots or only when enters the BIOS setup. NF-95 3-5 [Setup]: The password is required only when accessing the BIOS Setup. [System]: The password is required each time the computer boots up. If you forget the password, you will have to open the computer case and clear all information in the CMOS before you can start up the system. But by doing this, you will have to reset all previously set options. Delay For HDD (Secs) This item allows the BIOS to support some old or special IDE devices by prolonging this delay time. A larger value will give more delay time to the device for which to initialize and to prepare for activation. 3-6 NF-95 3. 3 Advanced Chipset Features Onboard GPU This item enables the onboard GPU function. Disable this item if you are going to install an external GPU. Frame Buffer Size This item specifies the Onboard VGA share memory size. K8<->NB HT Speed This item sets the speed of HyperTransport between CPU and Northbridge. NB-->SB HT Speed This item sets the speed of HyperTransport from Northbridge to Southbridge. NB<--SB HT Speed This item sets the speed of HyperTransport from Southbridge to Northbridge. K8<->NB HT Width This item sets the HyperTransport width between CPU and Northbridge NB<->SB HT Width This item sets the HyperTransport width between Northbridge and Southbridge. BIOS Setup NF-95 3-7 DRAM Configuration Click <Enter> key to enter its submenu: DRAM Timing Selectable This item sets the optimal timings for the following four items, depending on the memory module you are using. The default setting "By SPD" configures these four items by reading the contents in the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) device. The EEPROM on the memory module stores critical parameter information about the module, such as memory type, size, speed, voltage interface, and module banks. [. . . ] Example: 512M* 4PCS Memory configuration: Type in the memory configuration in BIOS setting. Example: Memory Timing: 2. 5-3-3-7 @533MHz Graphics information: Note Graphics card's brand, model and driver version Graphics card: Type in the brand and model name of your graphics card. Example: ATI RADEON X850 XT PE Graphics driver version: Type in the driver version of your graphics card Example: Catalyst 5. 12V Power supply maker: Type in the brand and model name of your power supply unit. Power supply wattage: Type in the power wattage of your power supply unit. [. . . ]
