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)
