Thermal Power-off , when enabled, sets a timer to shut down the system
approximately 3 minutes after the system BIOS detects an overtemperature condition
for a processor or hard-disk drive. This feature provides a safeguard in the event that
another shutdown utility, such as the Dell AutoShutdown service, is not installed or
fails to shut the system down after an overtemperature condition.

Keyboard Errors enables or disables reporting of keyboard errors during the POST,
which is a series of tests that the system performs on the hardware each time you
turn on the system or press the reset button.
This option is useful when applied to self-starting servers or host systems that do not
have a permanently attached keyboard. In these situations, selecting Do Not Report
suppresses all error messages relating to the keyboard or to the keyboard controller
during POST. This setting does not affect the operation of the keyboard itself, if a
keyboard is attached to the computer.
