Mode
Some hardware tests are skipped when the system starts up, thus
speeding up the boot procedure.
SETUP prompt The message PRESS to enter Setup appears at the bottom of the
screen during the system load phase.
POST Errors The load operation is stopped if an error is detected during the system
load phase, and you must press F1 to acknowledge. Enter Disabled to
avoid the necessity of acknowledging this error, for example if no
keyboard is connected.
Floppy check The floppy head is stepped inward and then back to its original position
in the system load phase. This test is useful because it reinitializes the
drive.
Summary
screen
The most important system parameters are displayed on the screen
when the system load phase is completed.
The entry Enabled means that the function has been active; Disabled means it
is inactive.
