Boot Options Enable/disable
■
QuickBoot, which starts the computer
more quickly by eliminating some
startup tests. (If you suspect a memory
failure and want to test memory
automatically during startup, you may
want to disable QuickBoot.)
■
MultiBoot, which enables you to set a
startup sequence that can include any
drives and PCI network adapters in the
system. For instructions, refer to
Changing the Startup Sequence with
MultiBoot in Chapter 6.
Device Options
■
Enable/disable the embedded numeric
keypad at startup.
■
Enable multiple standard pointing
devices at startup, or disable this
feature so the computer supports only a
single (usually non-standard) pointing
device at startup.
■
Enable/disable USB legacy support for
one USB mouse and one USB keyboard.
(When USB legacy support is enabled,
the keyboard and mouse work without a
loaded USB driver.)
■
Set an optional external monitor or
overhead projector connected to a video
card in a docking base as the primary
device. (When the computer display is
set as secondary, the computer must be
shut down before undocking.)
■
Change the parallel port mode from EPP
(default) to standard, bidirectional, EPP,
or ECP.
