[. . . ] FCC Compliance Statement: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. [. . . ] Enabled Activate 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 No warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector or hard disk partition table. (Default Value) Disabled · Memory The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the BIOS. Base Memory The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512 K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K 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 1 MB in the CPU's memory address map. Other Memory This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K address space. This is memory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free for application programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM 49 BIOS Setup BIOS Features Setup AMIBIOS SETUP ­ BIOS FEATURES CMOS SETUP ( C ) 1999 American Megatrends, Inc.
