BIOS Features

Quick Boot

If Enabled, this option will skip certain tests during POST to reduce the time needed

for system boot. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Quiet Boot

This option allows the bootup screen options to be modified between POST mes-

sages or the OEM logo. Select Disabled to display the POST messages. Select

Enabled to display the OEM logo instead of the normal POST messages. The op-

tions are Enabled and Disabled.

Wait for 'F1' If Error

If set to Enabled, the system will wait for the user to press F1 before displaying a

message when an error occurs. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

High Performance Event Timer

Select Enabled to activate the High Performance Event Timer (HPET) that produces

periodic interrupts at a much higher frequency than a Real-time Clock (RTC) does in

synchronizing multimedia streams, providing smooth playback and reducing the de-

pendency on other timestamp calculation devices, such as an x86 RDTSC Instruc-

tion embedded in the CPU. The High Performance Event Timer is used to replace

the 8254 Programmable Interval Timer. The options are Enabled and Disabled.
