AlphaBIOS Console 3-31
➊
PCI parity checking — Enables and disables settings for PCI parity
checking, which ensures data integrity across the PCI bus. Because
some third-party PCI options do not correctly implement PCI parity
generation, the default is Disabled.
➋
Power-up memory test — Enables and disables settings for the power-
up memory test.
➌ Password setup — Enables and disables settings for password setup.
Password protection provides two levels of security for your system:
setup, which requires a password to start AlphaBIOS Setup, and
startup, which requires a password before the system initializes.
Startup protection provides more comprehensive protection than setup
protection because the system cannot be used at all until the correct
password is entered.
➍ Console selection — Switches from AlphaBIOS to SRM firmware. If
you select OpenVMS (SRM) or Tru64 UNIX (SRM), the next time you
reset your system, the SRM firmware will be loaded instead of
AlphaBIOS. This menu selection changes the setting of the os_type
environment variable in the SRM console.
➎
Warm Reboot — Enable (the default) results in the system restarting
normally on a shutdown and restart from the operating system.
Disable results in the necessity to restart the machine by pressing
reset or power-cycling.
➏
Advanced CMOS Setup options
Discard changes (Escape key) —Restores those settings in effect when
you started Advanced CMOS Setup. This does not discard changes
made to Standard CMOS Setup.
Save Changes (F10 key) — Saves changes made in Advanced CMOS
Setup. When exiting CMOS Setup, you must also save your changes
at the Standard CMOS Setup screen for the changes to be stored
permanently.
