4. BIOS SETUP

Main Menu

Language [English]

This allows selection of the displayed language of the BIOS utility. Currently

only English is available.

Supervisor Password [Disabled], User Password [Disabled]

These fields allow you to set the system passwords. To set any of the passwords,

select the appropriate field and press <Enter>.

Type in a password and press <Enter>. You can type up to eight alphanumeric char-

acters. Symbols and other keys are ignored. To confirm the password, type the pass-

word again and press <Enter>. The password is now set to [Enabled]. When [En-

abled], a Supervisor password is required to access the BIOS setup utility and all

security menu options while a User password is required to access the computer

system.

To clear either password, select the appropriate field and press <Enter>. Press <En-

ter> again when a dialog box appears. This sets the password field to [Disabled].

A Note about Passwords

The passwords are not case sensitive. 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 either is disabled, anyone may access all BIOS

Setup program functions.

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 pow-

ered 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.

Halt On [All Errors]

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

options: [All Errors] [No Error] [All but Keyboard] [All but Disk] [All but Disk/Key-

board]

Installed Memory [XXX MB]

This field displays the amount of conventional memory detected by the system during

bootup. You do not need to make changes to this field. This is a display only field.
