Settings that affect the startup procedure
Settings for the following features in the Configuration/Setup Utility program can
affect the startup procedure for your computer:
Ÿ
Start Options, including the startup sequence, power-on status, power-on
self-test.
Ÿ
Security options, including the administrator and power-on passwords. For
more information, see “System Security” on page 87, “Using a power-on
password” on page 67, and “Using an administrator password” on page 71.
For more information on these settings, see Chapter 5, “Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 61.
Important
If Power-On Self-Test is set to Enhanced, information about memory
configuration and test results are shown in the upper-left corner. Options for
running a quick POST or accessing the Configuration/Setup Utility program
appear in the lower-left corner of the screen. Quick mode is the default mode of
operation.
Note: The amount of available memory shown might be somewhat less than
expected because of basic input/output system (BIOS) shadowing in
random access memory (RAM).
If POST finishes without detecting any problems, the first screen of your
operating system or application program appears (if you have not set a
power-on password). If you have set a power-on password, a password prompt
appears. You must enter your password before the first screen of your
operating system or application program will appear.
If Power On Status is set to Enabled and POST detects a problem, you will hear
multiple beeps or no beep. In most cases, an error code appears in the top left
corner of the screen, and in some cases a description of the error is displayed
beside the code. (Note that the screen will sometimes display multiple error
codes and descriptions.) For more information about what caused an error
message to appear and what action to take, refer to “Solving POST error
message problems” on page 105 and “POST message charts” on page 108.
If you have enabled Power On status and you hear no beep at all during POST,
refer to “Troubleshooting charts” on page 126. You might need to have your
computer serviced.
