Heading Option Description
Allows the PS2 mouse to wake from ACPI S3. PS2 keyboards are always enabled. (Disabling this
means that nudging the mouse will not trigger a system wake.)
USB Wake on Device Insertion
Enables the USB controllers to generate a wake event when a device is plugged in while the system
is in an ACPI sleep state. The matching USB controller must be set to wake the system (from
Windows, this is done from Device Manager, using the Power Management tab for that controller,
and setting the Allow this device to wake up the system check box).

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 boot menu.
●
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.
●
F11 Prompt (Enable/Disable). Makes the Factory Recovery option visible during POST.
●
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.
●
Factory Recovery Boot Support (Enable/Disable). Recovery partition (HDD) option available
for Vista. Vista leaves the factory with this support in place.
●
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)
●
ACPI/USB Buffers @ Top of Memory (Enable/Disable)
F9 Prompt (enable/disable)
Enabling this feature displays F9=Boot Menu during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the
text from being displayed, but pressing F9 still accesses the boot menu.
F10 prompt (enable/disable)
