Boot Settings Configuration

Quick Boot – [Disabled] or [Enabled]

If [Disabled] is selected, the BIOS is allowed to perform all POST test, but this slows the boot process.

If [Enabled] is selected, the BIOS is allowed to skip certain POST tests to boot faster.

Quiet Boot – [Disabled] or [Enabled]

If [Disabled] is selected, the BIOS displays normal POST messages on screen.

If [Enabled] is selected, the BIOS displays the customized splash screen (OEM logo) on screen The splash screen image (or OEM boot logo) will appear on the display instead of the POST messages.

For more information about how to customized a splash screen (OEM boot logo), refer to the System Utility and the System Utility Users Guide located on the XTX 820 Doc & SW CD-ROM in the System Tools and Documentation directory under Software.

Boot Display – [Clear] or [Maintain]

The Boot Display field only appears on screen when the Quiet Boot is set to [Enabled]. The boot display field controls the end of the POST boot display and how it is handled.

If Boot Display is set to [Clear], the BIOS will clear the screen and switch to VGA text mode.

If Boot Display is set to [Maintain], the BIOS will maintain the current display contents and graphics video used for POST display.

Automatic Boot List Retry – [Disabled] or [Enabled]

AddOn ROM Display Mode – [Force BIOS] or [Keep Current]

∗ If [Force BIOS] is selected, any third party BIOS or add-on ROM messages will be displayed on screen during the boot process.

If [Keep Current] is selected, no third party BIOS messages will be displayed on screen during the boot process.
