Displaying and Setting the Fastboot Mode
When
fastboot
is enabled (set to on), your computer does a quick check
of the memory and skips I/O interface testing during its power-on self
tests. This enables you computer to complete its boot process quicker.
The default factory setting is for fastboot to be enabled (set to on).
The
fastboot
mode allows your computer to boot quickly by performing
a less extensive check of the system’s memory.
When
fastboot
is disabled (set to
off
), more extensive memory testing
and I/O interface testing is performed during the self tests, causing the
boot process to take longer.
If you are experiencing difficulty in booting your computer, set fastboot to
off and reboot the system. More extensive testing may reveal the error
condition.
