Fast Boot
Setting this parameter to Auto allows the system to boot faster by skipping
some POST routines. Select Disabled to return to the normal booting
process.
Silent Boot
This parameter enables or disables the Silent Boot function. When set to
Enabled, BIOS is in graphical mode and displays only an identification logo
during POST and while booting. Then, the screen displays the operating
system prompt (as in DOS) or logo (as in Windows 95). If any error occurred
while booting, the system automatically switches to the text mode.

Even if your setting is Enabled, you may also switch to the text mode while
booting by pressing
after you hear a beep that indicates the activation of the
keyboard.
When set to Disabled, BIOS is in the conventional text mode where you see
the system initialization details on the screen.
Num Lock After Boot
This parameter allows you to activate the Num Lock function upon booting. The
default setting is Enabled.
Memory Test
When set to Enabled, this parameter allows the system to perform a RAM test
during the POST routine. When set to Disabled, the system detects only the
memory size and bypasses the test routine. The default setting is Disabled.
Configuration Table
This parameter allows you to enable or disable the display of the configuration
table after POST but before booting. The configuration table gives a summary
of the hardware devices and settings that BIOS detected during POST.
This parameter appears only when you are in the Advanced Level.
