Color Graphics Adapter, power up in 40 column mode. Color Graphics Adapter, power up in 80 column mode. Monochrome adapter, includes hi-res monochrome. * Halt On The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is detected during power up. Whenever the BIOS has detected a non-fatal error, the system will be stopped and you will be promted. All errors The system boot will not be stopped for any errors that are detected.

No errors * Memory The category is for display-only and it 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 640K. Extended Memory The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This is the amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPU's memory address map. S1461/6-001-01 33 Expanded Memory Expanded Memory (EMS) defines a 64 K page frame in the area between 640K and 1Mb containing four 16K pages that are windows into the EMS memory. Programs issue requests to the EMS manager to switch the page to any part of EMS memory. Extended memory can be converted to emulate EMS by useing a memory manager such as EMM386 that ships with W indows and DOS. Other Memory This refers to memory located in the 640K to 1024K ad dress space. This memory can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much conventional memory free for application programs as possible. 4. 6.
