4.3.2Advanced CMOS Setup Defaults

This Setup includes all of the advanced features in the system. The detail descriptions are specified as below.

4.3.2.1Quick Boot

Set this option to Enabled to instruct AMIBIOS to boot quickly when the computer is powered on.

Disabled: AMIBIOS tests all system memory. AMIBIOS waits up to 40seconds for a READY signal from the IDE hard disk drive. AMIBIOS waits for 0.5 seconds after sending a RESET signal to the IDE drive to allow the IDE drive time to get ready again. AMIBIOS checks for a <Del> key press and runs AMIBIOS Setup if the key has been pressed.

Enabled: AMIBIOS does not test system memory above 1 MB. AMIBIOS does not wait up to 40 seconds for a READY signal from the IDE hard disk drive. If a READY signal is not received immediately from the IDE drive, AMIBIOS does not configure that drive. AMIBIOS does not wait for 0.5 seconds after sending a RESET signal to the IDE drive to allow the IDE drive time to get ready again. You cannot run AMIBIOS Setup at system boot, because there is no delay for the Hit <Del> to run Setup message.
