DEC DECpc 433 User Manual

ROM-Based Setup
Shadow
This configuration setting enables or di~ables shadow memory. Shadow
memory is a write-protected portion of DRAM that, when enabled, contains a
copy of tl,e system and SCSI BIOS, or the video BIOS. Shadow memory has
the same addresses as the BIOS ROM locations. Shadow increases system
perfonnance because the
BIOS instructions are in fast DRAM instead of ROM.
NOTE
You must enable shadowing before selecting user
definable driver option 2 and 3.
Cache
This configuration setting enables or disables the i486 microprocessor internal
cache and the optional
external cache. Enabling the caches significantly
improves system performance by reducing the average number of wait states
seen by the i486 microprocessor.
Password
This configuration setting allows you to set a system password.
System Information Menu
Pr·~ssing the F2 function key displays the system information menu. This
menu contains the LAN address, the type selected LAN media, and whether
or not the system found a secondary c:ache. These configuration settings are
not changeable.
Exiting Setup
After all configuration setting changes are entered, exit Setup by selecting one
of the exit options displayed on
the ..,.. Exiting Setup ..,.. menu (see
Figure
C-3). Press the Esc key to display the menu.
