		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

		power strip, you will not be able to use the suspend/sleep feature

•POST Delay (in seconds) (enable/disable). 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 press 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.

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