Power-On Options
Allows you to set:
• POST mode (QuickBoot, FullBoot, or FullBoot every 1-30 days).
• POST messages (enable/disable).
•
F9
prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will display
the text
F9=Boot Menu
during POST. Disabling this feature
prevents the text from being displayed but pressing
F9
will still
access the Shortcut Boot (Order) Menu screen. See
Storage >
Boot Order
for more information.
•
F10
prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will display
the text
F10=Setup
during POST. Disabling this feature
prevents the text from being displayed but pressing
F10
will still
access the Setup screen.
•
F12
prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will display
the text
F12=Network Service Boot
during POST.
Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed but
pressing
F12
will still force the system to attempt booting from
the network.
• Option ROM* prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature
will cause the system to display a message before loading
options ROMs. (This feature is supported on select models only.)
• Remote wakeup boot source (remote server/local hard drive).
• After Power Loss (off/on/previous state): After power loss, if you
connect your computer to an electric power strip and would like
to turn on power to the computer using the switch on the power
strip, set this option to
ON
.
✎
If you turn off power to your computer using the switch on a
power strip, you will not be able to use the suspend/sleep feature
or the Remote Management features.
• POST Delay (in seconds) (enable/disable). Enabling this feature
will add a user-specified delay to the POST process. This delay
is sometimes needed for hard disks on some PCI cards that spin
up very slowly; so slowly that they are not ready to boot by the
time POST is finished. The POST delay also gives you more time
to press
F10
to enter Computer (F10) Setup.
• I/O APIC Mode (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will
allow Microsoft Windows Operating Systems to run optimally.
This feature must be disabled for certain non-Microsoft
Operating Systems to work properly.
