Hard Disk Boot Priority:

This item selects the hard disks booting priority. By pressing <Enter> key, you can enter its submenu

where the hard disks detected can be selected for the booting sequence to boot up system.

This item functions only when there is the option of [Hard Disk] in any one of the First/Second/Third

Boot Device items.

First Boot Device / Second Boot Device / Third Boot Device / Boot Other Device:

Select the drive to boot first, second and third in the [First Boot Device], [Second Boot Device], and

[Third Boot Device] items respectively. The BIOS will boot the operating system according to the

sequence of the drive selected. Set [Boot Other Device] to [Enabled] if you wish to boot from another

device other than these three items.

Boot Up Floppy Seek:

When the computer boots up, the BIOS detects if the system has a FDD or not. When this item is set to

Enabled, if the BIOS detects no floppy drive, it will display a floppy disk drive error message. If this item

is disabled, the BIOS will skip this test. The default setting is Disabled.

Boot Up NumLock Status:

This item determines the default state of the numeric keypad at system booting up.

[On]: The numeric keypad functions as number keys.

[Off]: The numeric keypad functions as arrow keys.

Security Option:

This item determines when the system will prompt for password - every time the system boots or only

when it enters the BIOS setup.
