Setup Utilities and Diagnostics Features Heading Option Description Advanced* *For advanced users only Power-On Options Allows you to set: • POST mode (QuickBoot, FullBoot, or FullBoot every 1-30 days). • POST messages (enable/disable). • MEBx Setup Prompt (enable/disable or hidden/displayed). Enabling this feature displays the text CTRL+P=MEBx during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed. However, pressing CTRL+P still accesses the ME BIOS Extension Setup Utility, which is used to configure manageability settings. • F9 prompt (enable/disable or hidden/displayed). Enabling this feature will display the text F9=Boot Menu during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed but pressing F9 will still access the Shortcut Boot (Order) Menu screen. See Storage > Boot Order for more information. • F10 prompt (enable/disable or hidden/displayed). Enabling this feature will display the text F10=Setup during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed but pressing F10 will still access the Setup screen. • F12 prompt (enable/disable or hidden/displayed). Enabling this feature will display the text F12=Network Service Boot during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed but pressing F12 will still force the system to attempt booting from the network. • 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 some models only.) • Remote wakeup boot source (remote server/local hard drive). • After Power Loss (off/on/previous state): Set this option to ON: • 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. • On - allows you to power on the computer using a power strip switch, if the computer is connected to an electric power strip. • Previous state - causes the computer to power on automatically as soon as power is restored, if it was on when power was lost. ✎ If you turn off power to your 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) (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 press F10 to enter Computer (F10) Setup. ✎ Support for specific Computer Setup options may vary depending on the hardware configuration.
