Keyboard ErrorsKeyboard Errors enables or disables reporting of keyboard
errors during the POST. This category is useful when applied to
self-starting servers or host systems that have no permanently
attached keyboard. System PasswordSystem Password displays the current status of the system's
password security feature and allows the user to assign and
verify a new system password when this category is set to Not
Enabled.
A new system password cannot be assigned unless the current status is Not Enabled, which is displayed in bright characters. See Assigning a System Password.

A new setup password cannot be assigned unless the current status is Not Enabled, which is displayed in bright characters. See Using the Setup Password. Boot SequenceThe Boot Sequence category can be set to Diskette First (the default option) or Hard Disk Only. Selecting Diskette First causes the system to try booting from drive A first. If it finds a diskette that is not bootable in the drive or finds a problem with the drive itself, the system displays an error message. If it does not find a diskette in the drive, the system then tries to boot from the hard-disk drive (drive 0). Selecting Hard Disk Only causes the system to boot from the
hard-disk drive only, even if there is a bootable diskette in
drive A. Select the Hard Disk Only option to prevent an
unauthorized person from accessing the system by booting from a
diskette. Power ManagementPower Management enables reduced power-consumption features for DPMS-compliant monitors and most EIDE hard-disk drives. Options for this category are:

category can be set to Auto (the default option) to automatically
configure the port, to a particular designation (COM1 or COM3),
or to Off to disable the port. Parallel PortParallel Port configures the system's built-in parallel port. This category can be set to 378H (IRQ7), 278H (IRQ5), or 3BCH (maps to I/O address 3BCh and uses IRQ7) to automatically configure the port, or to OFF to disable the port.
Parallel ModeParallel Mode controls the mode used by the system's built-in parallel port. The options are:
Set this category according to the type of device connected to
the parallel port.
Hard DiskHard Disk enables or disables the system's built-in EIDE
interface. Selecting Auto allows the system to turn off the EIDE
interface, as necessary, to accommodate a controller card
installed in an expansion slot. DisketteDiskette controls the operation of the system's built-in
diskette drive controller. With Auto selected, the system turns
off the built-in diskette drive controller, as necessary, to
accommodate a controller card installed in an expansion slot. SpeakerSpeaker enables or disables the speaker. System Data CategoriesThe following categories, which are not selectable, display information about the system:
