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. ● Bypass F1 Prompt on Configuration Changes (Enable/Disable). Allows you to set the computer not to confirm when changes were made. Execute Memory Test Restarts the computer and executes the POST memory test/logging. (some models) BIOS Power-On Allows you to set the computer to turn on automatically at a time you specify.
