Power-On Options

Allows you to set:

 

POST messages (enable/disable). Default is disabled.

 

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.

 

 

BIOS Power-On

Allows you to set the computer to turn on automatically at a time you specify.
