Swap Floppy Drive
This field is effective only in systems with two floppy drives. Selecting Enabled assigns
physical drive B to logical drive A, and physical drive A to logical drive B.
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.
Typematic Rate Setting
When Disabled, the following two items (Typematic Rate and Typematic Delay) are
irrelevant. Keystrokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller in your
system. When Enabled, you can select a typematic rate and typematic delay.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic rate (the rate at
which character repeats when you hold down a key) of 6, 8, 10,12, 15, 20, 24 or 30
characters per second.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic delay (the delay
before key strokes begin to repeat) of 250, 500, 750 or 1000 milliseconds.
Security Option
If you have set a password, select whether the password is required every time the
System boots, or only when you enter Setup.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
Leave this field at Disabled.
