Disabled
Determines which order the computer tries to boot into an
operating system from a certain device.
Default is as follows:
First Boot Device: Floppy
Second Boot Device: CDROM
Third Boot Device: HDD-1
Boot Other Device
Enabled
Disabled
For devices installed that can act as a bootable device.
Swap Floppy Drive
Enabled
Disabled
Only valid in systems with two floppy drives. This allows
the system to swap drive A to Drive B and vice versa.
Boot Up Floppy Seek
Enabled
Disabled
This tests to see if the floppy drive has 40 or 80 tracks. 40
Track drives are only 360Kb where 80 track drives can be
720Kb, 1.2Mb or 1.44Mb, which is the standard today.
Because only the 1.44Mb is used in the DigiPoS, this
function can be disabled to save time during the POST
(Power On Self Test).
Boot Up NumLock Status
Enabled
Disabled
Sets the number lock to on or off after boot up.
Gate A20 Option
Fast
Normal
Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses memory
above 1Mb (Extended Memory). When this is set to fast,
the VIA chipset controls Gate A20. When set to Normal, a
pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate A20. Setting
Gate A20 to Fast improves system performance.
Typematic Rate Setting
Enabled
Disabled
When enabled, you can specify the parameters for the
typematic settings. Usually this is disabled which renders
the next two settings irrelevant.
Typematic Rate
(Chars/Sec)
6
8
10
12
15
20
24
30
This is the rate at which a character is repeated when you
hold down a key on the keyboard.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
250
500
750
1000
When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can use
this setting to determine how long a delay will occur before
the character is repeated at the typematic rate.
Security Option
Setup
System
If the password option is selected, you can use this setting
to determine if the password is required every time the
computer boots or only when some one tries to gain
access to the BIOS settings.
