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, disable
QuickBoot.)
■ MultiBoot, which enables you to set a
startup sequence that can include
most bootable devices and media 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/disable multiple standard
pointing devices at startup. (To set the
computer to support only a single,
usually non-standard, pointing device
at startup, select Disable.)
■ Enable/disable USB legacy support for
a USB keyboard. (When USB legacy
support is enabled, the keyboard will
work even when a Windows operating
system is not loaded)
■ 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.)
■ Set video-out mode to NTSC (default),
PAL, NTSC-J, or PAL-M.*
■ Change the parallel port mode from
EPP (default) to standard,
bidirectional, EPP, or ECP.
*Video modes vary even within regions. However, NTSC is common
in North America; PAL, in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East; NTSC-J,
in Japan; and PAL-M, in Brazil. Other South and Central American
regions may use NTSC, PAL, or PAL-M.
