OS Select For DRAM > 64 MB (Non-OS2)
This item is only required if you have installed more than 64 MB of memory
and you are running the OS/2 operating system. Otherwise, leave this item at
the default.
HDD S.M.A.R.T Capability (Disabled)
The S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) system
is a diagnostics technology that monitors and predicts device performance.
S.M.A.R.T. software resides on both the disk drive and the host computer.
The disk drive software monitors the internal performance of the motors, me-
dia, heads, and electronics of the drive. The host software monitors the overall
reliability status of the drive. If a device failure is predicted, the host software,
through the Client WORKS S.M.A.R.T applet, warns the user of the impending
condition and advises appropriate action to protect the data.
Report No FDD For WIN95 (Yes)
If you are running a system with no floppy drive and using Windows 95, select
Yes for this item to ensure compatibility with the Windows 95 logo certification.
Otherwise, select No.
Advanced Chipset Features Option
These items define critical timing parameters of the mainboard. You should
leave the items on this page at their default values unless you are very famil-
iar with the technical specifications of your system hardware. If you change
the values incorrectly, you may introduce fatal errors or recurring instability
into your system.
