Boot Options

Enable/disable

 

QuickBoot, which starts the computer

 

more quickly by eliminating some

 

startup tests. (If you suspect a

 

memory failure and want to test

 

memory automatically during startup,

 

disable QuickBoot.)

 

MultiBoot, which sets a startup

 

sequence that can include most

 

bootable devices and media in the

 

system. For instructions, refer to

 

“Changing the Startup Sequence with

 

MultiBoot” in Chapter 5 of the

 

Reference Guide on the CD-ROM.

Device Options

Enable/disable the embedded numeric

 

keypad at startup.

 

Enable/disable multiple standard

 

pointing devices at startup. (To set the

 

computer to support only a single,

 

usually nonstandard, pointing device

 

at startup, select Disable.)

 

Enable/disable USB legacy support for

 

a USB keyboard. (When USB legacy

 

support is enabled, the keyboard

 

works even when a Windows

 

operating system is not loaded.)

 

Set an optional external monitor or

 

overhead projector connected to a

 

video card in a docking base as the

 

primary device. (When the computer

 

display is set as secondary, the

 

computer must be shut down before

 

undocking.)

 

Change the parallel port mode from

 

EPP (default) to standard,

 

bidirectional, EPP, or ECP.
