Load Defaults Event Log Restores system setup options to their factory defaults. Allows you to view the Event Log. Entries are marked R for Read and U for Unread. Mark All Entries Read puts an R to the left of all the entries. Clear Log clears the Event Log. POST Behavior Fast Boot (On default) When enabled, this feature reduces computer startup time by bypassing some compatibility steps. Off does not skip any steps during computer startup. On starts the system more quickly. Numlock Key (On default) Determines the functionality of the numeric keys on the right side of your keyboard. Off commands the right keypad keys to function as arrows. On commands the right keypad keys to function as numbers. OS Install (Off default) Determines the maximum amount of system memory available to the operating system. When set to Off, all system memory is available to the operating system. When set to On, the maximum amount of memory available to the operating system is 256 MB. NOTE: Some operating systems will not complete installation with more than 2 GB of system memory. POST Hotkeys Determines whether the sign-on screen displays a message stating the keystroke sequence that is required to enter the Setup program or the Quickboot feature. Setup & Boot Menu displays both messages (F2=Setup and F12=Boot Menu). Setup displays the setup message only (F2=Setup). Boot Menu displays the Quickboot message only (F12=Boot Menu). None displays no message. Keyboard Errors When set to Report (enabled) and an error is detected during POST, the BIOS will display the error message and prompt you to press to continue or press to enter the system setup program. When set to Do Not Report (disabled) and an error is detected during POST, the BIOS will display the error message and continue booting the system. System Setup 83
