Heading	Option	Description

Advanced*	Power-On Options	Allows you to set:
		• POST mode (QuickBoot, FullBoot, or
		FullBoot every 1-30 days)
		• POST messages (enable/disable)
		• Safe POST (enable/disable) Enabling this
		feature allows the ROM to monitor add-in
		cards during boot. If an add-in card does
		not work or initialize correctly, then on the
		next boot the offending card will be
		skipped during POST. (This feature is
		supported on select models only.)
		• F9 prompt (enable/disable) Enabling this
		feature will display the text “F9 = Boot
		Menu” during POST. Disabling this feature
		prevents the text from being displayed.
		However, pressing the F9 key will still
		access the Boot Menu screen.
		• F10 prompt (enable/disable) Enabling this
		feature will display the text “F10 = Setup”
		during POST. Disabling this feature
		prevents the text from being displayed.
		However, pressing the F10 key will still
		access the Setup screen.
		• F12 prompt (enable/disable) Enabling
		this feature will display the text
		“F12 = Network Service Boot” during
		POST. Disabling this feature prevents the
		text from being displayed. However,
		pressing the F12 key will still force the
		system to attempt booting from the
		network.
