Boot Setup
Wait For ’F1’ If Error
Before the system boots up, the AMIBIOS executes the Power-On Self Test (POST) routines, a
series of system diagnostic routines. If any of these tests fail but the system can still function, a
non-fatal error has occurred. The AMIBIOS responds with an appropriate error message followed
by:
Press F1 to RESUME
If this option is set to
Disabled
, a non-fatal error does not generate the “Press F1 to RESUME”
message. The AMIBIOS still displays the appropriate message, but continues the booting process
without waiting for the
<F1>
key to be pressed. This eliminates the need for any user response to
a non-fatal error condition message. Non-fatal error messages are listed in
Appendix A - BIOS
Messages
.
