Monochrome adapter, includes hi-res monochrome. * Halt On The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is detected during power up. Whenever the BIOS has detected a non-fatal error, the system will be stopped and you will be promted. All errors The system boot will not be stopped for any errors that are detected. All, but Keyboard The system boot will not stop for a keyboard error;it will stop for all other errors. All, but Diskette The system boot will not stop for disk errors; it will stop for all other errors. All, but Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or disk error; it will stop for all other errors. No errors * Memory The category is for display-only and it is determined by POST Power On Self Test of the BIOS. Base Memory The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in the system. Extended Memory The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This is the amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPU's memory address map. S1461/6-001-01 33 Expanded Memory Expanded Memory (EMS) defines a 64 K page frame in the area between 640K and 1Mb containing four 16K pages that are windows into the EMS memory. Programs issue requests to the EMS manager to switch the page to any part of EMS memory. Extended memory can be converted to emulate EMS by useing a memory manager such as EMM386 that ships with W indows and DOS. Other Memory This refers to memory located in the 640K to 1024K ad dress space. DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much conventional memory free for application programs as possible. 4. 6.

During and after the system boot up, any attempt to write to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive will halt the system and the following error message will appear. In the meantime, you can run an anti-virus program to locate the problem. Default value is Enabled. Enabled Activate automatically when the system boots up causing a warning message to appear when anything attemps to access the boot sector or hard disk partition table. Disabled No warning message to appear when anything attemps to access the boot sector or hard disk partition table. * CPU Internal Cache/External Cache These two categories speed up the memory access. Default value is Enabled. Enabled Enables the cache Disabled Disables the cache * Boot Sequence This category determines which drive the computer searches first for the disk operating system (i. e. Default value is A, C. A, C System will first search for floppy disk drive then hard disk drive. C, A System will first search for hard disk drive then floppy disk drive * Swap Floppy Drive Default value is Disabled Enabled Floppy A & B will be swapped under DOS Disable Floppy A & B will be normal definition. S1461/6-001-01 35 * Boot Up Floppy Seek During POST, the BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed is 40 or 80 tracks. [. . . ] If it displays a warning message about the CPU mode, you will have to try again. S1461/6-001-01 56 Once you have satisfied the two requirements mentioned above, you can run FMW Y can copy the contents of the "Flash" . ou directory to your hard drive, or you can run the utility froma backupof the support floppy disk. Make sure the new BIOS file is in thesam directory as the FM utility e W . To run FMW change to the " , Flash"directory if you are not already in it. [. . . ]
