IBM 6644, 6645 Power-On Self Test, Power-On Logos, Option Key Display, Error Startup Sequence

Automatics Power-on Startup Sequence

This item allows you to select enabled if you want to use a different startup sequence when your system is started using the Automatic Power-On features.

•First Startup Device:

The default is set to Network.

•Second Startup Device:

The default setting is Hard Disk 0.

•Third Startup Device: The default is Disabled.

•Fourth Startup Device:

When the previous startup device is set to disabled, the fourth startup device will become un- configurable. The default value is “Disabled“.

Error Startup Sequence

Select “Disabled“ if you want to start Setup whenever a POST (Power-On Self Test) error occurs. Select other options such as Network, Primary, Automatic, or Disabled if you want to bypass Setup and use a different startup sequence when a POST error occurs. You will still be able to enter Setup using the F1 key or on the POST error menu. The default is set to “Network“.

Power-On Self Test

When set to “Quick”, which is the default, this parameter allows the system to boot faster by skipping some power-on self-test (POST) routines.

Power-On Logos

This parameter enables or disables to display the IBM logo function. When set to “Enabled”, which is the default, BIOS is in graphical mode and displays the IBM logo while booting. If it is set to Disable, the system will not display the logo on the screen.

Option Key Display

This option controls the prompt of the system software option keys (such as the F1 and Esc keys) when the system is turned on. This may or may not affect the function of a specific key. Select “Enabled“ to display the prompts.
