Computer Setup—Advanced

NOTE: Support for specific Computer Setup options may vary depending on the hardware configuration.

Option	Heading
Power-On Options	Allows you to set:
	● POST mode (QuickBoot, Clear Memory, FullBoot, or FullBoot Every x Days).
	◦	QuickBoot (default) = Do not clear memory or perform a memory test.
	◦	FullBoot = Memory test (count) on cold boot. Clears memory on all boots.
	◦	Clear Memory = No memory count on cold boot. Clears memory on all boots.
	◦	FullBoot Every x Days = Memory count on 1st cold boot on or after the xth day. No more
		memory counts until 1st cold boot on or after x days. Clears memory on all boots.
	● POST messages (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will cause the system to display POST
	error messages, which are error messages displayed on the monitor during the Power On Self
	Test if the BIOS encounters some kind of problem while starting the PC. A POST error message
	will only display on screen if the computer is capable of booting this far. If the POST detects
	an error before this point, a beep code is generated instead. Default is disabled.
	● Press the ESC key for Startup Menu (Enable/Disable). This feature controls the display of the
	text “Press the ESC key for Startup Menu” during POST. This text does not display on
	Windows 8 systems with Fast Boot support. Other text also will not display (for example,
	Ownership Tag). Default is enabled.
	● Option ROM Prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will cause the system to display a
	message before loading option ROMs. Default is enabled.
	● After Power Loss (off/on/previous state). Default is Power off. Setting this option to:
	◦	Power off—causes the computer to remain powered off when power is restored.
	◦	Power on—causes the computer to power on automatically as soon as power is restored.
	◦	Previous state—causes the computer to power on automatically as soon as power is
		restored, if it was on when power was lost.

NOTE: If you turn off power to the computer using the switch on a power strip, you will not be able to use the suspend/sleep feature or the Remote Management features.
