Drive A / Drive B

The category identifies the types of floppy disk drive A or drive B that has been installed in the computer.

None No floppy drive installed

360K, 5.25" 5.25 inch PC-type standard drive; 360K byte capacity.

1.2M, 5.25" 5.25 inch AT-type high-density drive; 1.2M byte capacity

(3.5 inch when 3 Mode is Enabled).

720K, 3.5" 3.5 inch double-sided drive; 720K byte capacity

1.44M, 3.5" 3.5 inch double-sided drive; 1.44M byte capacity.

2.88M, 3.5" 3.5 inch double-sided drive; 2.88M byte capacity.

Floppy 3 Mode Support (for Japan Area)

Disabled Normal Floppy Drive. (Default value)

Drive A Drive A is 3 mode Floppy Drive.

Drive B Drive B is 3 mode Floppy Drive.

Both Drive A & B are 3 mode Floppy Drives.

Halt on

The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is detected during power up.

No Errors The system boot will not stop for any error that may be detected and you

will be prompted.

All Errors Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error the system will be stopped.

All, But Keyboard The system boot will not stop for a keyboard error; it will stop for all other

errors. (Default value)

All, But Diskette The system boot will not stop for a disk error; it will stop for all other errors.

All, But Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or disk error; it will stop for all

other errors.

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 512K for systems with 512K memory installed on

the motherboard, or 640K for systems with 640K 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.

Total Memory

This item displays the memory size that used.

CD-title will auto start and show the installation guide. If not, please double click the CD-ROM

device icon in "My computer", and execute the setup.exe.

3-1 Install Chipset Drivers

This page shows the drivers that need to be installed for the system. Click each item to install the driver

manually or switch to the to install the drivers automatically.

Some device drivers will restart your system

automatically. After restarting your system the

"Xpress Install" will continue to install other

drivers.

System will reboot automatically after install

the drivers, afterward you can install others
