Video BIOS Shadow
These fields allow you to change the Video BIOS location from ROM to RAM.
Information access is faster through RAM than ROM. Therefore when you en-
able this option you will enhance your system performance.
OS Select For DRAM > 64MB
Only select OS2 if you are running an OS/2 operating system with a RAM
greater than 64 Mb. Otherwise, for all other operating systems, use the default
setting “Non-OS2”
HDD S.M.A.R.T Capability
You may “enable” this option if your Hard Drive supports the S.M.A.R.T. tech-
nology (Self Monitoring Analysis Reporting Technology) feature. S.M.A.R.T. will
monitor and report your Hard Drive health status. Ask your Hard Drive Vendor
for further information.
Note! Using this feature may decrease system performance.
Typematic Rate
This is the rate a character will repeat itself on the screen when you hold down
a key.
Typematic Delay
This is the delay time (Msec) before the repetition of characters starts.
Security Option
This field allows you to select the “Setup” or “System” security option. It works
concurrently with the “ Set Supervisor Password” in the main menu.
When the "Setup" option is selected, you will be prompted to enter your
"Password" before you can start the BIOS CMOS Setup Utility. When you select
"System" option, you will be prompted to enter your password in order to load
the Operating System.
TIP: Forgot your password then clear the RTC RAM
If you happen to forget your password you can use Jumper 1 (JP1) to clear
the password by erasing the CMOS Real Time Clock (RTC) Ram. For further
details on how to do this please see section 2.9. On page 23.
