Overview of BIOS Features 3.8 Adjusting Boot Speed These factors affect system boot speed: • Selecting and configuring peripherals properly • Optimized BIOS boot parameters • Enabling the new Fast Boot feature 3.8.1 Peripheral Selection and Configuration The following techniques help improve system boot speed: • Choose a hard drive with parameters such as "power-up to data ready" in less than eight seconds that minimizes hard drive startup delays. • Select a CD-ROM drive with a fast initialization rate. This rate can influence POST execution time. • Eliminate unnecessary add-in adapter features, such as logo displays, screen repaints, or mode changes in POST. These features may add time to the boot process. • Try different monitors. Some monitors initialize and communicate with the BIOS more quickly, which enables the system to boot more quickly. 83

3.8
Adjusting Boot Speed
These factors affect system boot speed:
•
Selecting and configuring peripherals properly
•
Optimized BIOS boot parameters
•
Enabling the new Fast Boot feature
3.8.1
Peripheral Selection and Configuration
The following techniques help improve system boot speed:
•
Choose a hard drive with parameters such as “power-up to data ready” in less than
eight seconds that minimizes hard drive startup delays.
•
Select a CD-ROM drive with a fast initialization rate.
This rate can influence POST
execution time.
•
Eliminate unnecessary add-in adapter features, such as logo displays, screen
repaints, or mode changes in POST.
These features may add time to the boot
process.
•
Try different monitors.
Some monitors initialize and communicate with the BIOS
more quickly, which enables the system to boot more quickly.
