Description

Advanced Boot

**

Allows you to set:

•POST Mode (QuickBoot, FullBoot, or FullBoot every 1–30 days).•POST Messages (enable/disable).

•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 Shortcut Boot [Order] Menu screen.

•F10 Prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature displays the text F10=Setup during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed but pressing F10 still accesses the Setup screen.

•F12 Prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature displays the text F12=Network Service Boot during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed but pressing F12 still forces the system to attempt booting from the network.

•Option ROM* prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature causes the system to display a message before loading options ROMs.

•POST Delay (in seconds) (enable/disable). Enabling this feature adds a user-specified delay to the POST process. This delay is sometimes needed for hard disks on some PCI cards that spin up 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 Setup (F10).

•Num Lock State at Power-On (enable/disable). Enabling this feature automatically turns on Num Lock at startup.

Power/Sleep/ Wake

Options:

•Remote Wakeup Boot Source.

•After Power Loss (on/off).

•S5 Wake on LAN (enable/disable).

•ACPI S3* Support (enable/disable). S3 is an advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) sleep state that some add-in hardware options might not support.

NOTE: ACPI S3 selections are supported on select models only. If the ACPI S3 support option is not presented, the other ACPI S3 options (ACPI S3 Hard disk Reset, and ACPI S3 PS2 Mouse Wakeup) will not be available.

•ACPI S3 Video REPOST* (enable/disable). This feature reruns the video option ROM on a boot from the S3 state.

•ACPI S3 Hard Disk Reset* (enable/disable). Resets the hard disk on a boot from the S3 sleep state.

•ACPI S3 PS2 Mouse Wakeup* (enable/disable). Allows the mouse to wake the system from the S3 sleep state.

•Unique Sleep State Blink Rates (enable/disable). Allows you to choose an LED blink pattern that uniquely identifies each sleep state.
