Start Options
Setup automatically updates this menu when you do either of the following:
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.
Typematic Rate Setting
Determines if the typematic rate is to be used. When disabled, continually holding down a key
on the 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.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
When the typematic rate is enabled, you can select the delay between
when the key was first depressed and when the acceleration begins.
Security Option
Determines the access limitation to the system and Setup, or just Setup.
Report No FDD for Win 95
Select YES to release IRQ6 (Interrupt Request) when the system
contains no floppy drive for compatibility with Windows 95 logo certification.
Also select 'Disabled' for the Onboard FDC Control Field in the 'Devices and I/O Ports' menu.
