4.6QuickBoot Feature

This feature will skip all the diagnostics tests in the mid-BIST and late-BIST, once it has been enabled. However, Flash Test and Base Memory Test in the boot-BIST will still execute, even with this feature enabled. The default setting is QuickBoot enabled.

When QuickBoot feature has been disabled, user has the choice to optionally enable or disable the Extended Memory Test (in mid-BIST) and the OS Image Checksum Test (in late-BIST) individually.
