Setting the Self Test (Halt On) Error Level
When you start your system, it performs a self test. The
Halt
On
option determines the point at which the system will
stop if it finds an error during the self test.
This option allows flexibility in your configuration. If your
computer is running without an external diskette drive or it
must always start, you can choose one of the options in the
following table to ensure the computer will boot.

Setting the Shadow RAM
Your computer can access RAM (random access memory) faster
than ROM (read
only
memory). The
Shadow option allows
your system to copy the contents of its system BIOS and/or
video BIOS into RAM so it can perform certain operations
faster.
If you set this option to
System & Video, your system
automatically enables shadow RAM for both the system BIOS
and the video BIOS. You may need to disable one or both
shadow options, however, if you install a device that locates its
RAM in one of these areas.
