Computer Setup
Utilities (F10)
Use Computer Setup to do the following (menu options vary
depending on workstation model):
■ Change factory default settings.
■ Set the system date and time.
■ Set, view, change, or verify the system configuration,
including settings for processor, graphics, memory,
audio, storage, communications, and input devices.
■ Modify the boot order of bootable devices such as hard
drives, diskette drives, CD-ROM drives, DVD-ROM
drives, or LS-120 drives.
■ Enable Quick Boot, which is faster than Full Boot but
does not run all of the diagnostic tests run during a Full
Boot. You can set your system to:
❏ always Quick Boot (default);
❏ periodically Full Boot (from every 1 to 30 days); or
❏
always Full Boot.
■ Enable or disable Network Server Mode, which allows
the workstation to boot the operating system when the
power-on password is enabled, with or without a
keyboard or mouse attached. When attached to the
system, the keyboard and mouse remain locked until the
power-on password is entered.
■
Select Post Messages Enabled or Disabled to change the
display status of Power-On Self-Test (POST) messages.
Post Messages Disabled suppresses most POST
messages, such as memory count, product name, and
other non-error text messages. If a POST error occurs,
the error is displayed regardless of the mode selected.
To manually switch to Post Messages Enabled during
POST, press any key (except F10 or F12).
■ Establish an Ownership Tag, the text of which is
displayed each time the system is turned on or restarted.
■ Enter the Asset Tag or property identification number
assigned by your company to this workstation.
■ Enable power-on password prompting during system
restarts (warm boots) as well as during power-on.
