The BIOS Main Menu screen is displayed.

TABLE 5-2 POST Options
Option Description
Quick Boot This option is disabled by default. If you enable Quick Boot, the BIOS skips certain tests
while booting, such as the extensive memory test. This decreases the time it takes for the
system to boot.
Quiet Boot This option is disabled by default.
