Advanced Options
The
Advanced Options
menu is used to configure advanced options of the
system. The following is a list of selections found in this menu with an
explanation of each option:
■
MPS Table Mode
allows the user to change the advanced
programmable interrupt controller (APIC) table setting. This selection
should be automatically set by
OS Selection
, but it allows the user to
override the automatic selection.
NOTE:
The latest operating systems from Microsoft, Novell, and SCO bypass the use of
IRQs and use an APIC. The APIC has been designed to address the issues associated with
limited IRQs, multiprocessor systems, and shared interrupts. If you are using the latest
operating system, you can let the system automatically configure interrupts for all devices
in the system.
■
POST Speed Up
allows the user to enable or disable the quick or slow
start process. The slow start process performs a complete memory test.
■
F1 Prompt
configures the server to require the user to press the
F1
key
to proceed during power up when an error is encountered during the
power-up sequence.
