Advanced*

Power-On Options

Allows you to set:

 

 

• POST mode (QuickBoot, FullBoot, or

 

 

FullBoot every 1-30 days)

 

 

• POST messages (enable/disable)

 

 

• Safe POST (enable/disable) Enabling this

 

 

feature allows the ROM to monitor add-in

 

 

cards during boot. If an add-in card does

 

 

not work or initialize correctly, then on the

 

 

next boot the offending card will be

 

 

skipped during POST. (This feature is

 

 

supported on select models only.)

 

 

• F9 prompt (enable/disable) Enabling this

 

 

feature will display the text “F9 = Boot

 

 

Menu” during POST. Disabling this feature

 

 

prevents the text from being displayed.

 

 

However, pressing the F9 key will still

 

 

access the Boot Menu screen.

 

 

• F10 prompt (enable/disable) Enabling this

 

 

feature will display the text “F10 = Setup”

 

 

during POST. Disabling this feature

 

 

prevents the text from being displayed.

 

 

However, pressing the F10 key will still

 

 

access the Setup screen.

 

 

• F12 prompt (enable/disable) Enabling

 

 

this feature will display the text

 

 

“F12 = Network Service Boot” during

 

 

POST. Disabling this feature prevents the

 

 

text from being displayed. However,

 

 

pressing the F12 key will still force the

 

 

system to attempt booting from the

 

 

network.

Support for Computer Setup options may vary depending on your specific hardware configuration.
