4. BIOS SETUP

Main Menu

Halt On [All Errors]

This field determines which types of errors will cause the system to halt. Configu-

ration options: [All Errors] [No Error] [All but Keyboard] [All but Disk] [All but

Disk/Keyboard]

Installed Memory [XXX MB]

This display-only field displays the amount of conventional memory detected by the

system during bootup. You do not need to make changes to this field.

Language [English]

This allows selection of the BIOS’ displayed language. Currently only English is available.

Supervisor Password [Disabled] / User Password [Disabled]

These fields allow you to set the passwords. To set the password, highlight the appro-

priate field and press <Enter>. Type in a password and press <Enter>. You can type up

to eight alphanumeric characters. Symbols and other keys are ignored. To confirm the

password, type the password again and press the <Enter>. The password is now set to

[Enabled]. This password allows full access to the BIOS Setup menus. To clear the

password, highlight this field and press <Enter>. The same dialog box as above will

appear. Press <Enter> and the password will be set to [Disabled].

A Note about Passwords

The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify passwords in the Main menu. The pass-

words control access to the BIOS during system startup. The passwords are not case sen-

sitive. In other words, it makes no difference whether you enter a password using upper or

lowercase letters. The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two separate passwords:

a Supervisor password and a User password. When disabled, anyone may access all BIOS

Setup program functions. When enabled, the Supervisor password is required for entering

the BIOS Setup program and having full access to all configuration fields.

Forgot the Password?

If you forgot the password, you can clear the password by erasing the CMOS Real Time

Clock (RTC) RAM. The RAM data containing the password information is powered by the

onboard button cell battery. To erase the RTC RAM: (1) Unplug your computer, (2) Short

the solder points, (3) Turn ON your computer, (4) Hold down <Delete> during bootup and

enter BIOS setup to re-enter user preferences.
