Intel Desktop Board D875PBZ Technical Product Specification 3.9.2 Intel Rapid BIOS Boot Use of the following BIOS Setup program settings reduces the POST execution time. In the Boot menu: • Set the hard disk drive as the first boot device. As a result, the POST does not first seek a diskette drive, which saves about one second from the POST execution time. • Disable Quiet Boot, which eliminates display of the logo splash screen. This could save several seconds of painting complex graphic images and changing video modes. • Enable Intel Rapid BIOS Boot. This feature bypasses memory count and the search for a diskette drive. In the Peripheral Configuration submenu, disable the LAN device if it will not be used. This can reduce up to four seconds of option ROM boot time. ✏ NOTE It is possible to optimize the boot process to the point where the system boots so quickly that the Intel logo screen (or a custom logo splash screen) will not be seen. Monitors and hard disk drives with minimum initialization times can also contribute to a boot time that might be so fast that necessary logo screens and POST messages cannot be seen. This boot time may be so fast that some drives might be not be initialized at all. If this condition should occur, it is possible to introduce a programmable delay ranging from three to 30 seconds (using the Hard Disk Pre-Delay feature of the Advanced menu in the Drive Configuration Submenu of the BIOS Setup program).

Use of the following BIOS Setup program settings reduces the POST execution time.
In the Boot menu:
Set the hard disk drive as the first boot device.
As a result, the POST does not first seek a
diskette drive, which saves about one second from the POST execution time.
Disable Quiet Boot, which eliminates display of the logo splash screen.
This could save
several seconds of painting complex graphic images and changing video modes.
Enable Intel Rapid BIOS Boot.
This feature bypasses memory count and the search for a
diskette drive.
In the Peripheral Configuration submenu, disable the LAN device if it will not be used.
This can
reduce up to four seconds of option ROM boot time.
NOTE
It is possible to optimize the boot process to the point where the system boots so quickly that the
Intel logo screen (or a custom logo splash screen) will not be seen.
Monitors and hard disk drives
with minimum initialization times can also contribute to a boot time that might be so fast that
necessary logo screens and POST messages cannot be seen.
This boot time may be so fast that some drives might be not be initialized at all.
If this condition
should occur, it is possible to introduce a programmable delay ranging from three to 30 seconds
(using the Hard Disk Pre-Delay feature of the Advanced menu in the Drive Configuration
Submenu of the BIOS Setup program).
