BIOS Configuration
EPC-100 Hardware Reference 3-9
The options are as follows:
A: then C: Used to boot from the floppy drive, or if no floppy disk
is present in the A: drive, boot from the C: drive.
C: then A: Used to boot from the C: drive, or if none is present,
boot from the A: drive.
C: only: Used to boot from the C: drive without searching for an
A: drive.
The default is “A: then C:”. The setting chosen here displays in the Boot Sequence
Sub-menu prompt.
Setup Prompt:
This option is used to enable or disable the message “Press F2 to enter Setup.” Even
if the message is disabled, the F2 key can still be pressed at the appropriate time to
enter the Setup Menu. The default is “Enabled”.
POST Errors:
This option is used to stop during the boot process if the POST encounters errors.
Otherwise, the system continues to attempt to boot despite any startup error messages
that display. Note that this option only affects those errors defined in the section on
Boot Failures in Appendix D. The default is “Enabled”.
Floppy Check:
This option is used to enable or disable the floppy drive search during the boot. To
speed up the boot process, the floppy check should be disabled. It is still possible to
boot from the A: drive even with the floppy check disabled. The default is
“Enabled”.
Summary Screen:
This option is used to enable or disable a summary of the system configuration,
which displays before the operating system starts to load. To speed up the boot
process, the summary screen should be disabled. The default is “Enabled”.
