Options
Allows you to set:
●
POST Mode (QuickBoot, FullBoot, or FullBoot every 1–30 days).
●
POST Messages (enable/disable).
●
F9 Prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will display the text F9=Boot Menu during
POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed. However, pressing
the F9 key will still access the Shortcut Boot [Order] Menu screen.
●
F10 Prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature displays the text F10=Setup during POST.
Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed but pressing F10 still accesses
the Setup screen.
●
F12 Prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature displays the text F12=Network Service
Boot during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed
but pressing F12 still forces the system to attempt booting from the network.
●
Option ROM* prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature causes the system to display a
message before loading options ROMs.
●
Remote Wakeup Boot Source
●
After Power Loss (on/off)
●
POST Delay (in seconds) (enable/disable). Enabling this feature adds a user-specified delay
to the POST process. This delay is sometimes needed for hard disks on some PCI cards that
spin up slowly—so slowly that they are not ready to boot by the time POST is finished. The
POST delay also gives you more time to select F10 to enter Computer Setup (F10).
●
I/O APIC Mode (enable/disable)
●
Limit (PUID Maximum Value to 3) (enable/disable)
●
Setup Browse Mode (enable/disable)
