keystrokes. The default is 30 characters/sec.

Advanced --> System Keyboard

System Keyboard

If there is a keyboard connected to the system, set this

item to Present. Otherwise, POST will bypass the

keyboard test if select Absent.

VGA/EGA

CGA40x25

CGA80x25

Mono

This function selects the type of video card in use. The

default setting is VGA/EGA. Because current PCs are

almost all VGA only, this item becomes almost

useless.

Advanced --> Password Check

Password Check

Setup

Always

This item lets you set when to check for the password.

When set to Always, a password prompt appears

every time you turn-on the computer or when you enter

Setup. When set to Setup, the password prompt

appears when you try to enter Setup.

Advanced --> Parity Check

Parity Check

Disabled

Enabled

Set this item to Enabled if you install SIMMs with

parity in your system. Otherwise, set this item to

Disabled. Since the DRAM can still operate without

enabling the parity scheme for SIMMs with parity, this

function is normally set to Disabled.
