Quick Boot

boot quickly when the computer is powered on. This option replaces the old
Above 1 MB Memory Test Advanced Setup option. The settings are:
Setting Description
Disabled
AMIBIOS tests all system memory. AMIBIOS waits
up to 40 seconds for a READY signal from the IDE
hard disk drive. AMIBIOS waits for .5 seconds after
sending a RESET signal to the IDE drive to allow the
IDE drive time to get ready again. AMIBIOS checks
for a <Del> key press and runs AMIBIOS Setup if
the key has been pressed.
Enabled
AMIBIOS does not test system memory above 1 MB.
AMIBIOS does not wait up to 40 seconds for a
READY signal from the IDE hard disk drive. If a
READY signal is not received immediately from the
IDE drive, AMIBIOS does not configure that drive.
AMIBIOS does not wait for .5 seconds after sending
a RESET signal to the IDE drive to allow the IDE
drive time to get ready again. In
Enabled,
the key
board will be bypassed.
Note: You cannot run AMIBIOS Setup at system boot, because there is
no delay for the Hit <Del> to run the Setup message
.
