Typematic Rate (Char/Sec)
This field controls the speed at which the system registers repeated keystrokes.
Options range from 6 to 30 characters per second. Setup default setting is 6.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
This field sets the time interval for displaying the first and second characters. Four
delay rate options are available: 250ms, 500ms, 750ms and 1000ms. Setup default
value is 250ms.
Security Option
This field determines when the system prompts for the password. The default set-
ting is System, where the system prompts for the User Password every time you
boot up. The other option is Setup, where the system always boots up, and prompts
for the Supervisor Password only when the Setup utility is called up. You can specify
a password by using the Supervisor Password or User Password option from the
main screen as explained later in this section.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
Some display cards that are non-standard VGA such as graphics accelerators or
MPEG Video Cards may not show colors properly. The setting Enabled should
correct this problem. Otherwise leave this on the setup default setting of Disabled.
OS/2 Onboard Memory > 64M
When using OS/2 operating systems with installed DRAM of greater than 64MB,
you need to Enable this option otherwise leave this on the setup default of Disabled.
Video BIOS Shadow
This field allows you to change the video BIOS location from ROM to RAM. Relo-
cating to RAM enhances system performance, as information access is faster than
the ROM. Setup default setting is Enabled.
C8000-CBFFF to DC000-DFFFF
These fields are used for shadowing other expansion card ROMs. If you install
other expansion cards with ROMs on them, you will need to know which addresses
the ROMs use to shadow them specifically. Shadowing a ROM reduces the memory
available between 640KB and 1024KB by the amount used for this purpose.
IMPORTANT: When using EISA/ISA add-on cards, if there is an expansion
ROM, the shadow option of its corresponding address should be Enabled. Oth-
erwise the system may fail to boot.
