Replace the disk drive or the HDD
(hard disk drive) controller. Check the
HDD cable connections and IDE
settings in Setup.
Replace the disk drive or the hard disk
drive controller. Check the HDD cable
connections and IDE settings in Setup.
Check if there is no floppy disk in the

and check the cable connections. If the
connections are okay and the error
message continues to show, replace
the floppy drive.
Check the floppy drive cable and its
connections. If the cable is good and
properly connected, the floppy disk
controller may be the problem.
Change the floppy disk controller or
disable the onboard controller by
installing another add-on card with a

graphical mode and Disabled
displays only an
identification logo during
POST and while booting.
Then, the screen displays
the operating system
prompt (as in DOS) or logo
(as in Windows 95). If any
error occurs while booting,
the system automatically
switches to the text mode.
You may also switch to the
text mode while booting by
pressing F9 after you hear
a beep that indicates the
activation of the keyboard.

Num Lock After Allows you to activate or Enabled or

Boot deactivate the Num Lock Disabled

Configuration Table Allows you to enable or Enabled or

disable the display of the Disabled
configuration table after
POST but before booting.
The configuration table
gives a summary of the
hardware devices and
settings that BIOS detected
during POST. This
parameter appears only
when you are in the
Advanced Level.

Update BIOS with When enabled, it allows Enabled or

Boot Block you to replace the existing Disabled
BIOS in the Flash ROM by
simply inserting the floppy
disk containing the new
BIOS into the floppy drive
then resetting the system.
After reset, the system will
automatically read the BIOS
file contained in the floppy
disk (i.e., the first file in the
disk) and replace the BIOS
in the Flash ROM. If the
update is successful, the
system will automatically
disable this parameter then
shut down.
This parameter appears
only when you are in the
Advanced Level.

VGA Palette Enables the palette snooping Enabled or

Snoop feature if you installed more Disabled
than one VGA card in the
system, allowing the control
palette register (CPR) to
manage and update the VGA
RAM DAC (Digital Analog
Converter, a color data
storage) of each VGA card
installed in the system. The
snooping process lets the
CPR send a signal to all the
VGA cards so that they can
update their individual RAM
DACs. The signal goes
through the cards
continuously until all RAM
DAC data has been updated.
This allows the display of
multiple images on the screen.
Some VGA cards have
required settings for this
feature. Check your VGA card
manual before setting this
parameter.

Plug and Play Lets you specify whether BIOS Yes or No

OS will initialize only PnP boot
devices such as SCSI cards,
or all PnP boot and non-boot
devices such as sound cards.

Reset Resource When enabled, avoids IRQ Yes or No

Assignments conflict when installing non-
PnP and PnP ISA cards. This
clears all resource
assignments and allows BIOS
to reassign resources to all
installed PnP devices the next
time the system boots.
After clearing the
resource data, it is
recommended that
you reset the
parameter to its
default, i.e., No.
