POST mode (QuickBoot, Clear Memory, FullBoot, or FullBoot Every x Days).

FullBoot Every x Days = Memory count on 1st cold boot on or after the xth day. No more

POST messages (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will cause the system to display POST
●
error messages, which are error messages displayed on the monitor during the Power On Self
Test if the BIOS encounters some kind of problem while starting the PC. A POST error message
will only display on screen if the computer is capable of booting this far. If the POST detects
an error before this point, a beep code is generated instead. Default is disabled.
Press the ESC key for Startup Menu (Enable/Disable). This feature controls the display of the
●
text "Press the ESC key for Startup Menu" during POST. This text does not display on
Windows 8 systems with Fast Boot support. Other text also will not display (for example,
Ownership Tag). Default is enabled.

Previous state—causes the computer to power on automatically as soon as power is
◦
restored, if it was on when power was lost.
NOTE:
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 (in 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
Remote Wakeup Boot Source (remote server/local hard drive). Default is Local hard drive.
●
Factory Recovery Boot Support (Enable/Disable). Provides the ability for the BIOS to redirect
●
the boot to the recovery partition on the user hard drive, if present. Some versions of the
