There are two types: auto type, and user definable type. User type is user-definable; Auto type which will automatically detect HDD type. Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The hard disk will not work properly if you enter improper information for this category. If you select User Type, related information will be asked to enter to the following items. Enter the information directly from the keyboard and press . Such information should be provided in the documentation 23 BIOS Setup 24 form your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer. CYLS.

The system will halt and the following error message will appear in the mean time. You can run anti-virus program to locate the problem. Enabled Activate automatically when the system boots up causing a warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector or hard disk partition table Disabled No warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector or hard disk partition table. (Default Value) • Memory The category is display-only which 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. The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512 K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more memory installed on the motherboard. Extended Memory The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's memory address map. Other Memory This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K address space. This is memory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free for application programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM 7ZX-1 Motherboard 25 BIOS Features Setup Figure 3: BIOS Features Setup • 1st / 2n...
