[. . . ] This function is useful if floppy drives B and A are of a different format and you want to boot from floppy drive B. Boot up Floppy Seek During POST, BIOS will determine if the installed floppy disk drive has 40 or 80 tracks. A 360K drive has 40 tracks and 720K, 1. 2M and 1. 44M drives have 80 tracks. All modern floppy disk drives have 80 tracks. Boot Up NumLock Status This function defines the keyboard's numberpad as number keys or arrow keys. Block D . IDE HDD Block Mode Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands, or multiple sector read/write. If your IDE hard drive supports block mode (most new drives do), select Enabled for automatic detection of the optimal number of block read/writes per sector the drive can support. 26 Award BIOS Setup Program E. Memory Parity/ECC Check If the DRAM chips in your system support parity/ECC check, select Enabled F. Keyboard Interface Typematic Rate Setting When enabled, you can set the following two typematic control items. When disabled, keystrokes are determined arbitrarily by the keyboard controller in your system. Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec) The typematic rate sets the rate at which characters on the screen repeat when a key is pressed and held down. Typematic Delay (Msec) The typematic delay sets how long after you press a key that a character begins repeating. G. Security Option The Supervisor and/or User Password functions shown in Figure 3-1 must be set to take advantage of this function. See Section 3-8 for password setting information. When the Security Option is set to System, a password must be entered to boot the sysvtem or enter the BIOS setup program. When the Security Option is set to Setup, a password is required to enter the BIOS setup program. H. PCI/VGA Palette Snoop Some non-standard VGA cards or MPEG video cards may not show colors properly. Setting this function to Enabled can correct this problem. I. OS Select (For DRAM > 64MB) If your system's DRAM is larger than 64MB and you are running OS/2, select OS/2 as the item value. Otherwise, set the item value to Non-OS/2 for all other operating systems. J. Shadow Memory Software such as system BIOS, video BIOS, SCSI BIOS, etc that resides in ROM (Read Only Memory) chips is called firmware. Shadowing of firmware occurs when BIOS is copied to RAM address C0000h through DFFFFh. [. . . ] To terminate this function set it to disable. H. OnChip USB If a USB peripheral is installed in your system. Select enabled, to terminate this function set it to disabled. 42 Award BIOS Setup Program 3-9 Supervisor Password & User Password Setting There are four different variables that control password settings. The first two are located under the Security Option function in BIOS Features Setup Menu (Figure 3-3). [. . . ]
