Option

Parameter

Description

Your Setting

Option ROM

Disabled

Enable or disable the Option ROM scan monitoring

 

Scan Monitoring

[Enabled]

feature.

 

Option ROM

1 - [5] - 20

Specify the Option ROM monitoring time-out

 

Monitoring

 

period. This option is displayed only when

 

Time-out

 

"Enabled" is selected for "Option ROM Scan

 

 

 

Monitoring".

 

Boot Monitoring

Disabled

Enable or disable the boot monitoring feature. This

 

 

[Enabled]

function is unique to NEC Express5800/ft series:

 

 

 

detects errors until the OS boots up, and

 

 

 

immediately reboots the OS upon detection of an

 

 

 

error. (For details, see “Behavior at Occurrence of

 

 

 

Error” in Chapter 2.) Enable this function if NEC

 

 

 

ESMPRO Agent is installed on the OS. Disable this

 

 

 

function if NEC ESMPRO Agent is not installed or

 

 

 

when you install the OS. Otherwise, the OS will

 

 

 

boot up after “Specified boot timeout.”

 

Boot Monitoring

1 - [10] - 20

Specify the boot monitoring time-out period. This

 

Time-out Period

 

option is displayed only when "Enabled" is selected

 

 

 

for "Boot Monitoring". If you specify a shorter period

 

 

 

of time to “Boot Monitoring Time-out Period”, the

 

 

 

time until rebooting can be reduced. When there is

 

 

 

no external device connected, it is possible to set a

 

 

 

shorter period of time, but 3 minutes or longer is

 

 

 

recommended. Appropriate value for the setting

 

 

 

varies depending on your environment. Therefore,

 

 

 

when changing this setting, evaluate it thoroughly

 

 

 

after constructing the environment.

 

POST Pause

Disabled

Enable or disable the POST monitoring feature

 

Monitoring

[Enabled]

during boot-up restriction.
