Fast Boot This option can speed up the boot process by bypassing some
compatibility steps:
•
Minimal — The system boots quickly, unless the BIOS has
been updated, memory changed, or the previous POST did
not complete.
• Thorough — The system does not skip any steps in the
boot process.
• Auto — This allows the operating system to control this
setting (this works only when the operating system
supports Simple Boot Flag).
This option is set to Thorough by default.
