Hard Disks
The Hard Disk 0 entry refers to the computer’s
internal hard disk. With this entry set to Auto, the
BIOS automatically detects the hard disk and
displays its capacity, cylinders, heads, and
sectors. Other hard disk settings are configured
automatically for optimum drive performance.
You can change the Hard Disk 0 entry to User if
you want to enter drive settings manually. To
determine your drive settings, check the data
found on your hard disk or supplied in the hard
disk vendor documentation.
Caution: We suggest that you leave this
parameter set to Auto to allow the BIOS to
auto-detect the drive settings at each boot-up.
The Hard Disk 1 entry is used when a CD-ROM
drive module or second IDE drive option is
installed in the module bay.
Num Lock After Boot
When set to Enabled, Num Lock After Boot tells
the computer to turn on Num Lock automatically
on startup, activating the keyboard’s embedded
numeric keypad. The default setting is Disabled.
