Service Reference Guide, dc7600
Allows you to set:
• POST mode (QuickBoot, FullBoot, or FullBoot every 1-30 days).
• POST messages (enable/disable).
• 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. (This feature is supported on some models only.)
• Remote wakeup boot source (remote server/local hard drive).
• After Power Loss (off/on/previous state): Set this option to ON:
• Off - causes the computer to remain powered off when power
is restored.
• On - causes the computer to power on automatically as soon
as power is restored.
• On - allows you to power on the computer using a power strip
switch, if the computer is connected to an electric power strip.
• Previous state - causes the computer to power on automatically
as soon as power is restored, if it was on when power was
lost.
✎
If you turn off power to your 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) (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 press F10 to enter Computer (F10) Setup.
• I/O APIC Mode (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will
allow Microsoft Windows Operating Systems to run optimally.
This feature must be disabled for certain non-Microsoft
Operating Systems to work properly.
