S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting

Technology) feature.

BootUp Num-Lock

inactive at system start-up time.

Floppy Drive Swap

If you have two diskette drives installed and you enable this

item, drive A becomes drive B and drive B becomes drive A.

If you enable this item, your system will check all floppy disk

drives at start up. Disable this item unless you are using an

old 360KB drive.

Password Check

If you have entered a password for the system, use this item

to determine, if the password is required to enter the Setup

Utility (Setup) or required both at start-up and to enter the

Setup Utility (Always).

Boot to OS/2 > 64MB

Enable this item if you are booting the OS/2 operating system

and you have more than 64MB of system memory installed.

be installed on this board have internal L2 cache memory.

be copied to main memory for faster execution.
