Use Computer Setup to do the following:
Change factory default settings.
Set the system date and time.
Set, view, change, or verify the system configuration,
including settings for processor, graphics, memory,
audio, storage, communications, and input devices.
Modify the boot order of bootable devices such as hard
drives, diskette drives, CD-ROM drives, DVD-ROM
drives, or LS-120 drives.
Enable Quick Boot, which is faster than Full Boot but
does not run all of the diagnostic tests run during a Full
Boot. You can set your system to:
always Quick Boot (default);
periodically Full Boot (from every 1 to 30 days); or
always Full Boot.
Enable or disable Network Server Mode, which allows
the computer to boot the operating system when the
power-on password is enabled, with or without a
keyboard or mouse attached. When attached to the
system, the keyboard and mouse remain locked until the
power-on password is entered.
Select Post Messages Enabled or Disabled to change the
display status of Power-On Self-Test (POST) messages.
Post Messages Disabled suppresses most POST
messages, such as memory count, product name, and
other non-error text messages. If a POST error occurs,
the error is displayed regardless of the mode selected.
To manually switch to Post Messages Enabled during
POST, press any key (except F10 or F12).
