2.6.2 Silent Boot This parameter enables or disables the Silent Boot function. When set to Enabled, BIOS is in graphical mode and displays only an identification logo during POST and while booting, after which the screen displays the operating system prompt (such as DOS) or logo (such as Windows 95). If any error occurs while booting, the system automatically switches to text mode. Even if your setting is Enabled, you may also switch to text mode while booting by pressing after you hear a beep that indicates activation of the keyboard. When set to Disabled, BIOS is in conventional text mode where you see system initialization details on the screen. 2.6.3 Num Lock After Boot This parameter allows you to activate the Num Lock function upon booting. The default setting is Enabled. 2.6.4 Memory Test When set to Enabled, this parameter allows 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. 2.6.5 Initialize SCSI Before IDE Enabling this parameter allows SCSI devices installed in the system to be initialized before IDE devices. You may enable this parameter if you have a SCSI boot drive. When this parameter is disabled, the IDE drives are normally initialized first during POST. 2-20 Altos 1100 Series User's Guide
