Once you have set the system’s configuration memory, the IDE drive(s) can be formatted and
otherwise prepared normally. Refer to your operating system and disk drive documentation for
specific procedures and requirements.
Floppy Drives
The ROM BIOS supports all of the popular DOS-compatible floppy disk formats. This includes all
the 5-1/4 inch and 3-1/2 inch floppy formats — 360K, 720K, 1.2M, and 1.44M.
Drive Parameter Setup
Enter the number and type of floppy drives in the system. If the drives connected to the system do
not match the parameters in the configuration memory, POST displays an error message. To
eliminate the error message, set the drive parameters to match your floppy drives.
Video
Specify the initial video mode. Select Mono, CGA40, CGA80, or EGA/VGA. If your video display
card is VGA, super VGA, or any other high resolution standard, specify EGA/VGA no matter how it
is configured to come up.
Error Halt
Select which kinds of errors will halt the Power-On Self Test (POST). If you plan to use the module
without a keyboard, be sure to set this option to not halt on keyboard error.
DRAM Memory
The ROM BIOS automatically detects the amount of memory during POST and stores the result
when you save the configuration values when exiting Setup. This Setup page displays the amount of
memory found in the system.
