BIOS Setup

Swap Floppy Drive When enabled, floppy drives A and B will be exchanging
without any physical connection and modification on the
cables.
First/Second/Third/
Other Boot Device
The BIOS attempts to load the operating system from
the devices in the sequence selected in these items.
The choices: Floppy; LS/ZIP; HDD; SCSI; CDROM;
Disabled.
Boot Up NumLock
Status
Toggle between On or Off to control the state of
the NumLock key when the system boots. If On,
the numeric keypad is in numeric mode. If off, the
numeric keypad is in cursor control mode.
Gate A20 Option Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses
memory above 1 MB (extended memory). When
set to Fast, the system chipset controls Gate A20.
When set to Normal, a pin in the keyboard controller
controls Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast improves
system speed, particularly with OS/2 and Windows.
Boot Up Floppy Seek When enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives
to determine whether they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only
360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with
270KB, 1.2MB, and 1.44MB capacity all have 80
tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-track
floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field
to disabled to save time.
Typematic Rate Setting When Disabled, the following two items (Typematic Rate
and Typematic Delay) are irrelevant. Keystroke repeats
at a rate determined by the keyboard controller in your
system.
When Enabled , you can select a typematic rate and
typematic delay.
