Option | Heading |
|
|
| |
| 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). Suppresses most POST messages, such as memory | |
| count, product name, and other | |
| displayed regardless of the mode selected. | |
| ● Press the ESC key for Startup Menu (Enable/Disable). Default is enabled. | |
| ● After Power Loss (off/on/previous state): Setting this option to: | |
| ◦ | Power |
| ◦ | Power |
|
| restored. |
| ◦ | Previous |
|
| 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 | |
| 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. | |
| ● Remote Wakeup Boot Source (remote server/local hard drive). Default is Local hard drive. | |
| ● System Recovery Boot Support (Enable/Disable). Setting this feature to enabled will display | |
| the text F11 = Recovery during POST. Disabling the feature prevents the text from being | |
| displayed. However, pressing F11 will still attempt to boot to the HP Backup and Recovery | |
| partition. See Factory Recovery Boot Support for more information. 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 | 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. Default is enable. | |
| ● 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. Default is disable. | |
|
| |
Onboard Devices | Allows you to set resources for or disable | |
