Boot Screen
This screen lets you select the order of the devices in which you want the BIOS to
attempt to boot the operating system:
• Hard disk drives
• Removable devices
The operating system assigns drive letters to these devices in the order that you specify.
During POST, if the BIOS unsuccessfully boots from one device, it attempts to boot from
the next device on the Boot Device Priority list until it finds an operating system.
Power Screen
This screen lets you set the Standby Delay and Suspend Delay modes. Standby mode
slows down the processor, whereas Suspend mode saves energy. These options are
available only with Windows 95 RTM. For other operating systems (for example,
Windows 95 SR 2.5, Windows 98, and Windows 2000), use the control panel for similar
options.
Modem Ring enables or disables the system’s ability to return to full speed after an
Interrupt Request (IRQ) is generated. Network Interface enables or disables the
system’s ability to return to full speed after the network interface receives a specific
command.
