PCI-960 – User’s Manual (V1.02) 

11.5.1.1.

 

Quick Boot 

This option allows or restricts the BIOS to perform all POST tests. 

It is possible to choose between: 

Enabled

 

and Disabled. 

Enabled 

This setting allows the BIOS to skip certain POST tests to boot faster. 

Disabled 

This setting allows the BIOS to perform all POST tests. 

 

11.5.1.2.

 

Quiet Boot 

This option allows you to modify the boot up screen settings between POST messages or OEM logo. 

It is possible to choose between: Enabled and 

Disabled

.

 

Enabled 

This setting allows the computer system to display the OEM logo instead of POST messages. 

Disabled 

This setting allows the computer system to display the POST messages. 

 

 

If this option is Enabled the installed AMI-Logo (or a customized Company-Logo, if ordered) will be 

displayed during POST.  

 

11.5.1.3.

 

AddOn ROM Display Mode 

This option can be used to display add-on ROM (read-only memory) messages (e.g. the SCSI BIOS or VGA BIOS). 

It is possible to choose between: 

Force BIOS

 

and Keep Current. 

Keep Current 

A third party BIOS messages are not displayed during system boot. 

Force BIOS 

This setting allows the computer system to force a third party BIOS to display its messages during 

system boot. 

 

11.5.1.4.

 

Bootup Num-Lock 

Set this value to allow the Number Lock setting to be modified during boot up.  

It is possible to choose between: 

On

 

and Off. 

On 

Set this value to allow the Number Lock on the keyboard to be enabled automatically when the 

computer system is boot up. This allows the immediate use of 10-keys numeric keypad located on the 

right side of the keyboard. To confirm this, the Number Lock LED light on the keyboard will be lit. This 

is the default setting. 

Off 

This option does not enable the keyboard Number Lock automatically. To use the 10-keys on the 

keyboard, press the Number Lock key located on the upper left-hand corner of the 10-key pad. The 

Number Lock LED on the keyboard will light up when the Number Lock is engaged. 

 

11.5.1.5.

 

PS/2 Mouse Support 

This option allows you to activate or to restrict the PS/2 mouse support. 

It is possible to choose between: 

Auto

Enabled and Disabled. 

Enabled 

Set this value to force the system to reserve an IRQ for PS/2 devices.  

Disabled 

This option will prevent the PS/2 mouse port from using system resources and will prevent the port 

from being active. Use this setting if you want to install an external serial mouse. 

Auto 

Set this value to allow the BIOS to auto-detect a PS/2 mouse and to reserve the resources for it.
