Desktop Board D955XBK Specification Update
DOCUMENTATION CHANGES
The Documentation Changes listed in this section apply to the Intel
®
Desktop Board D955XBK
Technical Product Specification (Order Number D14065). All Documentation Changes will be
incorporated into a future version of that specification.
1. Change to Section 3.7.2, BIOS Boot Optimizations
Section 3.7.2, will change in its entirety as follows:
3.7.2 BIOS BOOT OPTIMIZATIONS
Use of the following BIOS Setup program settings reduces the POST
execution time:
• In the Boot menu, set the hard disk drive as the first boot device. As a
result, the POST does not first seek a diskette drive, which saves about
one second from the POST execution time.
• In the Peripheral Configuration submenu, disable the LAN device if it will
not be used. This can reduce up to four seconds of option ROM boot
time.
NOTE
It is possible to optimize the boot process to the point where the
system boots so quickly that the Intel logo screen (or a custom logo
splash screen) will not be seen. Monitors and hard disk drives with
minimum initialization times can also contribute to a boot time that
might be so fast that necessary logo screens and POST messages
cannot be seen.
This boot time may be so fast that some drives might be not be
initialized at all. If this condition should occur, it is possible to
introduce a programmable delay ranging from three to 30 seconds
(using the Hard Disk Pre-Delay feature of the Advanced Menu in the
Drive Configuration Submenu of the BIOS Setup program).
