Description
Allows you to set:
• Option ROM prompt (enable/disable)
Enabling this feature will cause the system
to display a message before loading
option ROMs. (This feature is supported
on some models only.)
• Remote wakeup boot source (remote
server/local hard drive).
• After Power Loss (off/on/previous state):
Setting this option to "on:"
• Off—causes the computer to remain
powered off when power is restored.
• On—causes the computer to power on
automatically as soon as power is restored.
• On—allows you to power on the computer
using a power strip switch, if the computer
is connected to an electric power strip.
• Previous state—causes the computer to
power on automatically as soon as power
is restored, if it was on when power was
lost.
✎
If you turn off power to 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 (None, 5, 10 15, or 20
seconds). Enabling this feature will add a
user-specified delay to the POST process.
This delay is sometimes needed for hard
disks on some PCI cards that spin up very
slowly; 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 to enter Computer (F10) Setup.
