Floppy Check
When enabled the system checks that each floppy drive
configured in CMOS memory is operational. Disabling floppy
check skips this step, speeding up boot time.
Floppy Swap
For systems that boot using DOS, allows you to swap the drive
designation for floppy drives A: and B:. Enabled swaps the
drives. Disabled uses the drives as they are installed.
Note: Not implemented on all systems.
Boot Sequence
During boot the computer looks for an operating system stored
on the floppy boot drive or logical drive C on an installed hard
drive. Disk drive boot sequence determines which drive is
checked first. The default is [A: then C:], meaning the system
will check floppy drive A first, then if no operating system is
present, it will look on drive C. If you normally boot from the
hard disk C, setting this option to [C: then A:] or [C: only] will
speed your boot time.
SETUP prompt
When enabled, the system displays the message “Press F2 to
enter SETUP” on boot. When disabled this step is skipped on
boot.
POST errors
When enabled, the system pauses whenever it finds an error
during bootup and displays the message “Press F1 to continue
or F2 to enter SETUP”. When disabled the system ignores
POST errors during boot. The default is enabled.
