[. . . ] Floppy Access Control This option specifies the read-write access that is set when booting from a floppy drive. Hard Disk Access Control This option specifies the read-write access that is set when booting from a hard disk drive. for Hard Disks Set this option to Enabled to permit AMIBIOS to use the SMART (System http://www. tyan. com 44 Management and Reporting Technologies) protocol for reporting server system information over a network. Enabling this feature allows you to back up your data when your hard disk is about to fail. Boot Up Num-Lock Set this option to Off to turn the Num Lock key off when the computer is booted so you can use the arrow keys on both the numeric keypad and the keyboard. PS/2 Mouse Support Set this option to Enabled to enable AMIBIOS support for a PS/2-type mouse. Primary Display This option configures the type of monitor attached to the computer. Password Check This option enables password checking every time the system boots or when you run AMIBIOS Setup. If Always is chosen, a user password prompt appears every time the computer is turned on. If Setup is chosen, the password prompt appears if AMIBIOS is executed. Boot To OS/2 Set this option to Yes if you are running an OS/2 operating system and using more than 64 MB of system memory on the motherboard. WSC# Handshake Set this option to Enabled to enable handshaking for the WSC# signal. Handshaking is a form of encryption; see the Glossary for more information. USWC Write Post This option sets the status of USWC posted writes to I/O. The settings are: Se tting Enabled Disabled USWC posted writes to I/O are enabled. USWC posted writes to I/O are disabled. BIOS De s cription BX Master Latency Timer (Clks) This option specifies the master latency timer (in PCI clocks) for devices in the computer. Multi-Trans Timer (Clks) This option specifies the multi-trans latency timings (in PCI clocks) for devices in the computer. The settings are Disabled, 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, or 224.

Method of Memory Detection This option determines how your system will detect the type of system memory you have installed. DRAM Integrity Mode This option sets the type of system memory checking. The settings are: Se tting Non ECC EC ECC Hardware De s cription No error checking or error reporting is done. Errors are detected, and single bit errors are corrected. DRAM Refresh Rate This option specifies the interval between refresh signals to DRAM system memory. [. . . ] Local buses are those which operate within a single system (as opposed to a network bus, which connects multiple systems). The PCI PIO (PCI Programmable Input/Output) modes are the data transfer modes used by IDE drives. PCI refers to the type of bus used by these modes to communicate with the CPU. http://www. tyan. com 86 PCI-to-PCI bridge allows you to connect multiple PCI devices onto one PCI slot. Pipeline burst SRAM is a fast secondary cache. It is used as a secondary cache because SRAM is slower than SDRAM, but usually larger. Data is cached first to the faster primary cache, and then, when the primary cache is full, to the slower secondary cache. [. . . ]
