∙Off (default)

3.14.4.8Setup Prompt

Turns on (or off) the “Press <F1> Key if you want to run Setup” prompt during the power-up sequence. The options are:

∙Disabled

∙Enabled (default)

✏NOTE

This option has no effect on your ability to access the Setup program. It only toggles the prompt.

3.14.4.9Hard Disk Pre-Delay

Sets the hard disk drive pre-delay. The options are:

∙Disabled (default)

∙3 seconds

∙6 seconds

∙9 seconds

∙12 seconds

∙15 seconds

∙21 seconds

∙30 seconds

When enabled, this option causes the BIOS to wait the specified time before it accesses the first hard drive.

If your computer contains a hard drive, and you don’t see the drive type displayed during boot-up, the hard drive may need more time before it is able to communicate with the controller. Setting a pre-delay provides additional time for the hard drive to initialize.

∙Default (default)

∙Override

Choosing Override enables the Typematic Rate Delay and Typematic Rate setup options.
