Quick Power On Self Test
This option speeds up the Power-On Self Test (POST) conducted as soon as the
computer is turned on. When enabled, the BIOS shortens or skips some of the items
during the test. When it disabled, normal POST procedures resume.
Boot Sequence
This function determines the sequence in which the computer will search the drives
for the disk operating system (i.e. DOS). The default value is "C, A, SCSI". The
following options are available:
A: Computer will boot from the A (floppy) disk drive
C: Computer will boot from the C (hard) disk drive

SCSI: Computer will boot from the SCSI drive
D: Computer will boot from the D drive
E: Computer will boot from the E drive
F: Computer will boot from the F drive

Boot Up Floppy Seek
During POST, the BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed has 40 or 80
tracks. The 360 KB type has 40 tracks while the 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB all
have 80 tracks.
Enabled BIOS searches the floppy drive to determine if it has 40 or 80 tracks. Note that BIOS
cannot differentiate 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB type drives as they all have 80 tracks.
Disabled BIOS will not search for the floppy drive type by track number. Note that there will
not be any warning message if the drive installed is 360 KB. l
