Quick Boot, however, does not run all the diagnostic test that run during Full Boot. Quick Boot can be enabled to: 1. Always Quick Boot (default). 2. Periodically Full Boot (from every 1 to 31 days). 3. Always Full Boot. Passive Release (Pentium II System) Version 2.1 of the PCI specification sets limits on the maximum time allowed for a device to complete transactions on the PCI bus. Passive release addresses the time limits set by the specification. Passive release is a feature of the Pentium II systems only. With passive release enabled, slower ISA devices are made to wait until faster PCI devices have completed their transactions. Disabling passive release gives ISA devices priority over PCI devices. The units ship with passive release enabled. To enable or disable passive release, use the following steps: 1. Run Computer Setup (Section 2.2). 2. Under System Information, select the Processor icon. 3. Find "Bus Priority." 4. Select ISA or PCI.  Selecting ISA disables passive release, giving ISA devices priority. Selecting PCI enables passive release, giving PCI devices priority. 2-4 Compaq Utilities
