devices, simply press or
3.7.2 First Hard Disk Drive
This parameter specifies whether the BIOS utility will boot from an IDE hard disk drive
or a SCSI hard disk drive. The system will automatically boot from an IDE hard disk if
your system does not have a SCSI hard disk drive. The default setting is IDE.
3.7.3 Primary Display Adapter
Setting this parameter to Onboard enables the onboard video controller. Normally, the
onboard video controller is considered as the primary display adapter. If you installed a
video card into your system, set this parameter to Auto. BIOS will automatically disable
the onboard video controller and consider the video card as the primary display adapter.
3.7.4 Fast Boot
Setting this parameter to Auto allows the system to boot faster by skipping some POST
routines. Select Disabled to return to the normal booting process.
3.7.5 Silent Boot
This parameter enables or disables the Silent Boot function. When set to Enabled, BIOS
is in graphical mode and displays only an identification logo during POST and while
booting. Then, the screen displays the operating system prompt (as in DOS) or logo (as in
Windows 95). If any error occurred while booting, the system automatically switches to
the text mode.
