Pressing [Enter] when this field is highlighted calls up a sub-menu for configuring the Notebook PC’s

serial and parallel ports.

Internal Pointing Device [Enabled]

This allows you to turn ON or OFF the Notebook PC’s built-in touchpad. Some external pointing
devices have extra functions that may not function without turning OFF the Notebook PC’s touchpad.
The configuration options are: [Enabled] [Disabled]

Processor Serial Number [Enabled] (only shows on PIII CPU)

The Processor Serial Number is a unique number that is added to every Pentium III processor to help
verify the identity of the user across the Internet. Set this field to [Enabled] when you need increased
security for doing business online or e-commerce. Otherwise, set to [Disabled] for greater anonymity
when surfing the Internet. [Disabled] prohibits any software from reading the unique identifier of the
installed processor. The configuration options are: [Disabled] [Enabled]
