BIOS Setup Menus
3-11
POST Fast Reboot Cycle
Enable early reboot in POST, allowing service
technician to verify that the hardware can reboot
very quickly many times in succession. Platform
will continue to reboot after every boot until the
system’s CMOS is reset, as there is no way to enter
Setup from this early point during POST.
POST Slow Reboot Cycle
Enable late reboot in POST, allowing service
technician to cause the system to move through
POST and then reboot, causing POST to be
reexecuted, over and over, until Setup is reentered
and this option is disabled. When left unattended,
this is a straightforward way of having POST
exercise system memory and peripherals without
requiring a boot to a drive with an operating system
installed.
The following table describes the settings associated with the POST setup menu’s Device Initialization
section:
POST Floppy Seek
Enable head seek on each floppy drive configured
in the system. Used to recalibrate the drive in some
systems with older DOS operating systems.
POST Hard Disk Seek
Enable head seek on each hard drive configured in
the system. This is a way of extending the standard
testing performed on each drive during POST, by
requesting that the drive actually move the head.
Not available with all drives.
