Power-On Options

Allows you to set:

 

POST mode (QuickBoot, FullBoot, or FullBoot every 1–30 days).

 

POST messages (enable/disable).

 

F9 prompt (enable/disable or hidden/displayed). Enabling this feature will display the text F9 =

 

 

 

 

Boot Menu during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed.

 

 

 

 

However, pressing F9 will still access the Shortcut Boot [Order] Menu screen. See

 

 

 

 

Storage > Boot Order for more information.

 

F10 prompt (enable/disable or hidden/displayed). Enabling this feature will display the text

 

 

 

 

F10 = Setup during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed.

 

 

 

 

However, pressing F10 will still access the Setup screen.

 

F12 prompt (enable/disable or hidden/displayed). Enabling this feature will display the text

 

 

 

 

F12 = Network Service Boot during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being

 

 

 

 

displayed. However, pressing F12 will still force the system to attempt booting from the network.

 

Option ROM prompt (enable/disable) Enabling this feature will cause the system to display a

 

 

 

 

message before loading option ROMs. (This feature is supported on some models only.)

 

Remote wakeup boot source (remote server/local hard drive).

 

After Power Loss (off/on/previous state): Setting this option to:

 

 

 

 

Off—causes the computer to remain powered off when power is restored.

 

 

 

 

On—causes the computer to power on automatically as soon as power is restored.

 

 

 

 

On—allows you to power on the computer using a power strip switch, if the computer is

 

 

 

 

 

connected to an electric power strip.

 

 

 

 

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 (None, 5, 10 15, or 20 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.

 

I/O APIC Mode (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will allow Microsoft Windows Operating

 

 

 

 

Systems to run optimally. This feature must be disabled for certain non-Microsoft Operating

 

 

 

 

Systems to work properly.

 

Hyper-threading (enable/disable)

 

Limit CPUID Maximum Value to 3. Restricts the number of CPUID functions reported by the

 

 

 

 

microprocessor. Enable this feature if booting to Windows NT.

Execute Memory Test Restarts the computer and executes the POST memory test. (some models)
