Setup Utility
Allows you to set:
• POST mode (QuickBoot, FullBoot, or FullBoot every 1-30 days).
• POST messages (enable/disable).
• F9 prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will display
the text F9=Boot Menu during POST. Disabling this feature
prevents the text from being displayed but pressing F9 will still
access the Shortcut Boot (Order) Menu screen. See Storage >
Boot Order for more information.
• F10 prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will display
the text F10=Setup during POST. Disabling this feature
prevents the text from being displayed but pressing F10 will still
access the Setup screen.
• F12 prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will display
the text F12=Network Service Boot during POST.
Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed but
pressing F12 will still force the system to attempt booting from
the network.
• Option ROM* prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature
will cause the system to display a message before loading
options ROMs. (This feature is supported on select models only.)
• Remote wakeup boot source (remote server/local hard drive).
• After Power Loss (off/on/previous state): After power loss, if you
connect your computer to an electric power strip and would like
to turn on power to the computer using the switch on the power
strip, set this option to ON.
✎
If you turn off power to your 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) (enable/disable). 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 press F10 to enter Computer (F10) Setup.
• I/O APIC Mode (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will
allow Microsoft Windows Operating Systems to run optimally.
This feature must be disabled for certain non-Microsoft
Operating Systems to work properly.
