Allows you to set:
●
POST messages—(Enable/Disable). This feature causes the system to display POST error messages,
which are error messages displayed on the monitor during the Power-On Self-Test if the BIOS
encounters some kind of problem while starting the computer. A POST error message will display on
screen only if the computer is capable of booting this far. If the POST detects an error before this
point, a beep code is generated instead. Default is disabled.
●
Press the
esc
key for Startup Menu—(Enable/Disable). This feature controls the display of the text
"Press the esc key for Startup Menu" during POST. Neither this text nor any other (for example, the
Ownership Tag) is displayed on Windows 8 systems that have Fast Boot support.
●
Option ROM Prompt—(Enable/Disable). This feature causes the system to display a message before
loading option ROMs. Default is enabled.
●
After Power Loss—(off/on/previous state). Default is Power off. Setting this option to:
◦
Power off—Causes the computer to remain powered off when power is restored.
◦
Power on—Causes the computer to turn on automatically as soon as power is restored.
◦
Previous state—Causes the computer to turn on automatically as soon as power is restored, if
it was on when power was lost.
NOTE:
If you turn off the computer using the switch on a power strip, you will not be able to use the
suspend/sleep feature or the Remote Management features.
●
POST Delay (in seconds). This feature adds a user-specified delay to the POST process. This delay is
sometimes needed for hard drives that spin up 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) Utility. Default is None.
●
Remote Wakeup Boot Source (remote server/local hard drive). Default is Local hard drive.
●
Factory Recovery Boot Support—(Enable/Disable). This feature enables the BIOS to redirect the
boot to a recovery partition on the user hard drive, if one is present. Some versions of the recovery
software honor the
f11
key press even when this feature is disabled. Default is disabled.
●
Bypass f1 Prompt on Configuration Changes— (Enable/Disable). Allows you bypass the
confirmation step after changes are made. Default is enabled.
This feature enables you to specify a time for the computer to start automatically.
Allows you to set resources for or disable Legacy devices.
Select the Legacy device's IRQ, DMA, and I/O Range. The settings may not take effect for all operating
systems. To hide a device from the operating system, see Security > Device Security.
Allows you to enable or disable:
●
PCI SERR# Generation—(Enable/Disable) Default is enabled.
●
PCI VGA Palette Snooping—(Enable/Disable) Sets the VGA palette snooping bit in PCI configuration
space; only needed when more than one graphics controller is installed. Default is disabled.
●
PCI Latency Timer—Sets PCI Clock speed. (32/64/96/128/160/192/224/248). 128 PCI Clocks is the
default.
Allows you to set:
●
Turbo Mode—(Enable/Disable). Allows you to enable and disable the Intel Turbo Mode feature,
which allows one core of the system to run at a higher than standard frequency and power if other
cores are idle. Default is enabled.
