P/I-P55SP3AV User's Manual The default "Boot Up NumLock Status" setting is "On". When the computer boots, the numbers on the numeric keypad of an IBMcompatible extended keyboard will be active. If you turn this off the keypad cursor controls will be active. • "Boot Up System Speed" sets the CPU speed at boot up. The default setting is "High". IDEBlock Mode The "IDE HDD Block Mode" default setting is "Enabled". This feature enhances hard disk performance by making multi-sector transfers instead of one sector per transfer. Most IDE drives, except very early designs, can use this feature. Keyboard Interface The "Typematic Rate Setting" default setting is "Disabled". If enabled, you can set the typematic controls that follow. The "Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)" controls the speed at which the system registers repeated keystrokes. The choices range from 6 to 30 characters per second (default is 6). The "Typematic Delay (Msec)" controls the time between the display of the first and second characters. There are four delay rate choices: 250ms, 500ms, 750ms and 1000ms (default is 250ms). Security Option Password Control The "Security Option" controls the Password Setting in the main screen. The default setting, "System", uses the User Password feature every time you boot up. The other setting is "Setup". This uses the Supervisor Password only to protect the Setup Utility settings. You create a password by using the Supervisor or User Password command from the main screen as explained later in this chapter. 3-10
