Displaying and Setting the Fastboot Mode

When fastboot is enabled (set to on), your computer does a quick check of the memory and skips I/O interface testing during its power-on self tests. This enables you computer to complete its boot process quicker. The default factory setting is for fastboot to be enabled (set to on). Note that fastboot can be set using the Boot Console Interface’s Configuration Menu.

When fastboot is disabled (set to off), more extensive memory testing and I/O interface testing is performed during the self tests, causing the boot process to take longer.

If you are experiencing difficulty in booting your computer, set fastboot to off and reboot the system. More extensive testing may reveal the error condition.

To display the status of fastboot, type the following at the prompt and press Enter:

Configuration Menu: Enter command> fastboot

To disable fastboot, type the following at the prompt and press Enter:

Configuration Menu: Enter command> fastboot off

To enable fastboot, type the following at the prompt and press Enter:
