Menu Delay
Setting
Select the number of seconds (0 – 60) to pause the boot before
starting the OS. Increasing the delay, gives more time to press a key
that opens one of the BIOS menus. Set this to 0 if you have excellent
twitch reflexes honed from a lifetime of video games. Increase the
delay, if you need a little more time to respond during the boot up.
