When a User Password is set it must be used to access the BIOS setup utility.

Supervisor can set password length (0 to 8) for user password. User cannot set a password shorter than the minimum length.

When set to First Boot, a password (User or Supervisor) is required just once after the Power On Self Test (POST) before the operating system will be read from a disk. When set to Every Boot, a password (User or Supervisor) is required every time after the Power On Self Test (POST) before the operating system will be read from a disk. When set to Disabled no password is required.

When disabled, password entry is not required when the system wakes up automatically. When enabled, password entry is required upon wake up.

When enabled, the keyboard and mouse inputs are locked out upon Resume until the password is entered. Note that this feature only works when a password is entered before booting the operating system.

Supervisor only allows access to boot the computer to removable media after the Supervisor Password is entered.

When disabled, the BIOS Flash memory will be write protected.

Boot Device Priority Submenu of the Boot Menu

The Boot Device Priority submenu is for setting the order of checking of sources for the operating system.

■

Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD or you may overwrite files by mistake.

■

A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk format or a hard drive format. When the CD-ROM is used, drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format is used, the CD-ROM becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard drive is not present or disabled. The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C: designation if a formatted internal hard drive is present since the C: designator is always reserved for the hard drive.The boot sequence ignores the new drive designations, but your application software will use the new designations.

Description

The boot selections determine the order in which the BIOS searches for the operating system during a startup sequence. To change the order, highlight one source by using the [up] or [down] cursor keys and then press the [+] or [-] key to change the order number. Tapping [x] removes from the list a device that is not installed. Tapping [x] on an item in the Excluded list adds the device to the Boot priority list. Be sure to save your changed order when you exit the BIOS setup utility.

NOTE: Be aware that if you use the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device, certain files may be overwritten, depending upon your operating environment.

Exiting from Boot Menu

When you have finished setting the boot parameters with the Boot Menu, you can either exit from the setup utility or move to another menu. If you wish to exit from the setup utility press the [Esc] key to go to the Exit Menu. If you wish to move to another menu, use the cursor keys.
