unless the correct password is entered at the prompt.

Setup

The system will boot, but access to Setup will be denied
unless the correct password is entered at the prompt.

OS Select for DRAM > 64MB

This field allows you to access the memory that is over 64MB in OS/2.  The
options are Non-OS2 and OS2.

HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability

The system board supports SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting
Technology) hard drives.  SMART is a reliability prediction technology for ATA/
IDE and SCSI drives.  The drive will provide sufficient notice to the system or
user to back up data prior to the drive’s failure.  The default is Disabled.  If you
are using hard drives that support SMART, set this field to Enabled.  SMART is
supported in ATA/33 or later hard drives.

Small Logo (EPA) Show

Enabled

The EPA logo will appear during system boot-up

Disabled

The EPA logo will not appear during system boot-up.

Onboard LAN Boot ROM

By default, this field is disabled.  Enable this field if you wish to use the boot
ROM (instead of a disk drive) to boot-up the system and access the local area
network directly.

If you wish to change the boot ROM’s settings, type the <Shift> and <F10>
keys simultaneously when prompted during boot-up.  Please note: you will be
able to access the boot ROM’s program (by typing <Shift> + <F10>) only when
this field is enabled.
