After Power Loss (On, Off, Previous State)—”On” means the system will power on again after
power is restored. “Off” means it will remain shut down after power is restored. “Previous State”
directs the previous state to be the default after power is restored.
●
POST Delay (in seconds)—Adds a specified delay (5, 10, 15, 20, None) to the POST process. This
delay is sometimes needed for hard drives on some expansion cards that spin up slowly (so slowly
that they are not ready to start by the time POST is finished). The POST delay also gives you time to
select F10 to enter Computer Setup (F10) Utility or other startup functions (e.g., F9 Boot Menu or
F2 Diagnostics)..
