Quick Boot Mode
This BIOS feature allows you to decrease the time it takes to boot up the
computer by shortening or skipping certain standard booting procedures.
If enabled, the BIOS will shorten the booting process by skipping some tests
and shortening others. In addition, it will also perform the following to further
speed up the booting process:
Spin up the hard disks as soon as power is supplied (or as soon as
possible)
Initialize only critical parts of the chipset
Read memory size from the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) chip on the
memory modules
Eliminate logo delays
If disabled, the BIOS will run the whole gamut of boot-up tests.
It is recommended that you disable this feature when you boot up a new
computer for the first time or whenever you install a new piece of hardware.
