Quick Boot
Quick Boot allows a faster boot cycle than does Full Boot. Quick Boot, however, does not run all the
diagnostic test that run during Full Boot. Quick Boot can be enabled to:
1. Always Quick Boot (default).
2. Periodically Full Boot (from every 1 to 31 days).
3. Always Full Boot.
Passive Release (Pentium II System)
Version 2.1 of the PCI specification sets limits on the maximum time allowed for a device to
complete transactions on the PCI bus. Passive release addresses the time limits set by the
specification. Passive release is a feature of the Pentium II systems only.
With passive release enabled, slower ISA devices are made to wait until faster PCI devices have
completed their transactions. Disabling passive release gives ISA devices priority over PCI devices.
The units ship with passive release enabled. To enable or disable passive release, use the following
steps:
1. Run Computer Setup (Section 2.2).
2. Under System Information, select the Processor icon.
3. Find "Bus Priority."
4. Select ISA or PCI.
Selecting ISA disables passive release, giving ISA devices priority. Selecting PCI enables
passive release, giving PCI devices priority.
