Computer Setup (F10) Utility
Advanced* 
(continued)
Power-On Options 
(continued)
Allows you to set:
• 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 select models only.)
• Remote wakeup boot source (remote 
server/local hard drive).
• After Power Loss (off/on): After power 
loss, if you connect the computer to an 
electric power strip and would like to turn 
on power to the computer using the switch 
on the power strip, set this option to “on.”
✎
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 (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 select the F10 key 
to enter Computer (F10) Setup.
*For advanced 
users only.
