NOTE:
The latest operating systems from Microsoft, Novell, and SCO bypass the use of
IRQs and use an APIC. The APIC has been designed to address the issues associated
with limited IRQs, multiprocessor systems, and shared interrupts. If the user is utilizing the
latest operating system, the user can let the system automatically configure interrupts for
all devices in the system.
POST Speed Up
allows the user to enable or disable the quick or slow start
process. The slow start process performs a complete memory test.
F1 Prompt
configures the server to require the user to press the

key to

sequence.
ROM Selection
toggles the server ROM between the current ROM and the
backup ROM.
Erase Non-Volatile Memory

initial, factory state. When
Yes
is selected, the non-volatile memory is erased and
set to an initial, factory state.

been corrected.
