Allows you to set:
• POST mode (QuickBoot, FullBoot, or FullBoot every 1-30 days).
• POST messages (enable/disable).
• Safe POST* (enable/disable). Enabling this feature allows the
ROM to monitor add-in cards during boot. If an add-in card
does not work or initialize correctly, then on the next boot all
cards will be skipped during POST.
• 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.
• Remote wakeup boot source (remote server/local hard drive).
• After Power Loss (off/on): After power loss, if you connect your
workstation to an electric power strip and would like to turn on
power to the workstation using the switch on the power strip, set
this option to ON.
NOTE: If you turn off power to your workstation 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 select F10 to enter Computer Setup (F10).
