Num Lock After Boot

This parameter allows you to activate the Num Lock function upon booting. The default setting is Enabled.

Memory Test

When set to Enabled, this parameter allows the system to perform a RAM test during the POST routine. When set to Disabled, the system detects only the memory size and bypasses the test routine. The default setting is Enabled.

Configuration Table

This parameter allows you to enable or disable the appearance of the configuration table after POST but before booting. The configuration table gives a summary of the hardware devices and settings that BIOS detected during POST.

Boot from LANDesk Service Agent

When set to Enabled, the system boots from a LANDesk Service Agent network instead of your desktop system. The LANDesk Service Agent is IEEE-standards-based code that intervenes in the boot process. Please refer to your LANDesk Manual for more information.

When set to Disabled, the system boots from the drive specified in the Boot Sequence parameter.
