When set to Off, the function of the numeric keypad is the arrow keys. 82 BIOS Setup Typematic Rate Setting Disabled Continually holding down a key on your keyboard will cause the BIOS to report that the key is down. Enabled The BIOS will not only report that the key is down, but will first wait for a moment, and, if the key is still down, it will begin to report that the key has been depressed repeatedly. For example, you would use such a feature to accelerate cursor movements with the arrow keys. You can then select the typematic rate and typematic delay in the "Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)" and "Typematic Delay (Msec)" fields below. Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec) This field allows you to select the rate at which the keys are accelerated. Typematic Delay (Msec) This field allows you to select the delay between when the key was first depressed and when the acceleration begins.

SMART is supported in ATA/33 or later hard drives. Delay for HDD (Secs) This field is used to select the time that would delay the HDD controller's initial time. This is specially useful for some HDDs which will not be ready at first boot when you power-on the system. Full Screen Logo Show This field is applicable only if you want a particular logo to appear during system boot-up. The logo will appear in full screen during system bootup.

However, if your hard drive has a large capacity, it will take a longer time to format. Parallel Port The parallel printer doesn't respond when you try to print. Make sure that your printer is turned on and that the printer is on-line. Make sure your software is configured for the right type of printer attached. [. . . ]
