First, Second, Third, Fourth Boot Device [HDD-0, Floppy, SCSI, Disabled]
Thiese setup fields determine which drive to be searched first, second or third for
the disk operating system (i.e. DOS). You can select your priority bootup drives
as Floppy drive A, IDE Hard Disk Drive C, D, E, F, or SCSI.
Swap Floppy Drive [Disabled]
This field is effective only in system with two floppy drives. This item allows you
to determine whether to enable the swap floppy drive or not (i.e. physical floppy
disk A assigned to logical drive B or physical drive B to logical drive A).
Boot Up Floppy Seek [Enabled]
During the “POST” process, BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed
is 40 or 80 tracks. 360K-type is 40 tracks while 760K, 1.2M and 1.44M are all 80
tracks. Because few modern PCs have 40-track floppy drives, we recommend
that you set this field to Disabled to save time.

This field allows you to determine the default state of the numeric keypad. “On”:
keypad is number keys after boot up. “Off”: keypad is arrow keys after boot up.
Gate A20 Option [Fast]

Normal, a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate A20. Setting to Fast
improves system speed, particularly with OS/2 and Windows.
