Virus Warning
Determines if the BIOS will monitor the boot sector and
partition table of the hard disk drive for any attempt at
modification. If any attempt is made, the BIOS will halt the
system and an error message will appear.
Afterwards, if necessary, you will be able to run an anti-virus
program to locate and remove the problem before any
damage is done.
Quick Power On Self Test
Speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you power up
the computer. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will shorten or skip
some check items during POST.
Swap Floppy Drive
Determines if the swap floppy drive is enabled or not.
Boot Up Numlock Status
Determines the default state of the numeric keypad. By
default, the system boots up with NumLock on.
Gate A 20 Option
This setting allows you to select how the gate A20 is handled.
Initially, the gate A20 was handled via a pin on the keyboard.
Today, the system chipset provide more common and much
faster support than keyboards.
Typematic Rate Setting
Determines if the typematic rate is to be used. When
disabled, continually holding down a key on your keyboard
generates only one instance. In other words, the BIOS will
only report that the key is down. When the typematic rate is
enabled, the BIOS will report as before, but will wait a
moment. If the key is still down, it will report that the key has
been depressed repeatedly. You might use this feature to
accelerate cursor movements with the arrow keys.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
When the typematic rate is enabled, you can select the rate at
which the keys are accelerated.
