This field determines which types of errors will cause the system to halt.
Configuration options: [All Errors] [No Error] [All but Keyboard] [All but
Disk] [All but Disk/Keyboard]

This display-only field displays the amount of conventional memory detected
by the system during bootup. You do not need to make changes to this field.
Language [English]
This allows selection of the BIOS’ displayed language. Currently only English is avail-
able.
Supervisor Password [Disabled] / User Password [Disabled]
These fields allow you to set the passwords. To set the password, highlight the ap-
propriate field and press <Enter>. Type in a password and press <Enter>. You can
type up to eight alphanumeric characters. Symbols and other keys are ignored. To
confirm the password, type the password again and press the <Enter>. The password
is now set to [Enabled]. This password allows full access to the BIOS Setup menus.
To clear the password, highlight this field and press <Enter>. The same dialog box as
above will appear. Press <Enter> and the password will be set to [Disabled].
A Note about Passwords
The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify passwords in the Main menu.
The passwords control access to the BIOS during system startup. The pass-
words are not case sensitive. In other words, it makes no difference whether
you enter a password using upper or lowercase letters. The BIOS Setup pro-
gram allows you to specify two separate passwords: a Supervisor password
and a User password. When disabled, anyone may access all BIOS Setup
program functions. When enabled, the Supervisor password is required for
entering the BIOS Setup program and having full access to all configuration
fields.
Forgot the Password?
If you forgot the password, you can clear the password by erasing the CMOS Real
Time Clock (RTC) RAM. The RAM data containing the password information is
powered by the onboard button cell battery. To erase the RTC RAM: (1) Unplug
your computer, (2) Short the solder points, (3) Turn ON your computer, (4) Hold
down <Delete> during bootup and enter BIOS setup to re-enter user preferences.
