Computer Setup—Advanced

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

Table 6-6Computer Setup—Advanced (for advanced users)

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.
	●	POST Delay (in 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. Default is None.
	●	Remote Wakeup Boot Source (remote server/local hard drive). Default is Local hard drive.
	●	Factory Recovery Boot Support (Enable/Disable). Provides the ability for the BIOS to redirect the
		boot to the recovery partition on the user hard drive, if present. Some versions of the recovery
		software honor the F11 key press even when this feature is disabled by the BIOS. Default is
		disabled.
	●	Bypass F1 Prompt on Configuration Changes (Enable/Disable). Allows you to set the computer not
		to confirm when changes were made. Default is disabled.
BIOS Power-On	Allows you to set the computer to turn on automatically at a time you specify.
Onboard Devices	Allows you to set resources for or disable Legacy devices.
	Select the Legacy device's IRQ, DMA, and I/O Range. The settings may not take effect for all operating
	systems. To hide a device from the operating system, see Security > Device Security.
