Basic System Configuration

4-10

Using the BIOS Setup Utility

This parameter permits the system to support an extended memory higher than
64 MB. Set this parameter to Advanced if you are working under Microsoft
Windows NT™ environment and the system memory size is greater than or
equal to 64 MB. Otherwise, set it to Normal.

This parameter permits you to activate the Num Lock function upon booting.
The default setting is Enabled.

When set to Enabled, this parameter permits the system to perform a RAM
test during the POST routine. When set to Disabled, the system detects only
the memory size and bypasses the test routine. The default setting is Disabled.

This item is set to Disabled and is not user-configurable if you enabled the
Auto Configuration Mode and the Fast Boot Mode parameters on page 2 of
the Basic System Configuration menu. See the following headings, “Auto
Configuration Mode“ and “Fast Boot Mode.”

When enabled

,

 this parameter automatically sets the system configuration

values to their optimized settings. At the same time, it causes the Memory
Test parameter to be set to Disabled and the shadow RAM region for system
and video BIOS to be set to Enabled. For additional information, see the
headings, “Memory Test“ and “Shadow RAM.”

Set this parameter to Enabled if you do not know the hard disk drive type
parameters and the onboard communication port configuration.
