●
POST messages (enable/disable).
●
F9 prompt (hidden/displayed). Enabling this feature will display the text F9 = Boot Menu during
POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed. However, pressing F9 will
still access the Shortcut Boot [Order] Menu screen. See Storage > Boot Order for more
information.
●
F10 prompt (hidden/displayed). Enabling this feature will display the text F10 = Setup during
POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed. However, pressing F10
will still access the Setup screen.
●
F11 prompt (hidden/displayed). Setting this feature to displayed will display the text F11 =
Recovery during POST. Hiding the feature prevents the text from being displayed. However,
pressing F11 will still attempt to boot to the recovery partition. See Factory Recovery Boot
Support for more information.
●
F12 prompt (hidden/displayed). Enabling this feature will display the text F12 = Network during
POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed. However, pressing F12
will still force the system to attempt booting from the network.
●
Factory Recovery Boot Support (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will cause an additional
prompt, F11 = Recovery, to be displayed during POST on systems with a recovery partition
on the boot hard drive. Pressing F11 causes the system to boot to the recovery partition.
The F11 = Recovery prompt can be hidden with the F11 prompt (hidden/displayed) option (see
above).
●
Option ROM prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will cause the system to display a
message before loading option ROMs. (This feature is supported on some models only.)
●
WOL After Power Loss (enable/disable). Enabling this option will cause the system to power-
up momentarily after a power loss in order to enable the Wake On LAN (WOL) feature.
●
Remote wakeup boot source (remote server/local hard drive).
●
After Power Loss (off/on/previous state): Setting this option to:
◦
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.
◦
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 (None, 5, 10 15, or 20 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 F10 to enter Computer (F10) Setup.
●
Limit CPUID Maximum Value to 3. Restricts the number of CPUID functions reported by the
microprocessor. Enable this feature if booting to Windows NT.
●
Bypass F1 Prompt. This feature allows the system to boot without pressing F1 at the prompt
when the configuration changes.
Execute Memory Test
(some models)
Restarts the computer and executes the POST memory test.
