Table 2-6Computer Setup—Advanced

Option	Heading
Power-On Options	Allows you to set:
	● POST messages (enable/disable). Suppresses most POST messages, such as memory
	count, product name, and other non-error text messages. If a POST error occurs, the error is
	displayed regardless of the mode selected.
	● After Power Loss (off/on/previous state): Setting this option to:
	◦	Off—causes the computer to remain powered off when power is restored.
	◦	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.
	● POST Delay (None, 5, 10 15, or 20 seconds). Enabling this feature will add a user-specified
	delay to the POST process. This delay is sometimes needed for hard disks on some PCI
	cards that spin up very slowly, so slowly that they are not ready to boot by the time POST is
	finished. The POST delay also gives you more time to select F10 to enter Computer (F10)
	Setup.
BIOS Power-On	Allows you to set the computer to turn on automatically at a time you specify.
Bus Options	On some models, allows you to enable or disable:
	● PCI SERR# Generation.

● PCI VGA Palette Snooping, which sets the VGA palette snooping bit in PCI configuration space; only needed when more than one graphics controller is installed.
