Basic System Configuration

Fast Boot Mode

When enabled, this parameter permits the system to boot faster by skipping some POST routines. It bypasses memory test, enables shadow RAM, and enables primary- and second-level cache.

When set to Enabled, this parameter also causes the Memory Test parameter to be set to Disabled and the shadow RAM regions for system and video BIOS to Enabled. For additional information, see the headings, “Memory Test“ and “Shadow RAM.”
