Table 5-5 Computer Setup-Power Option Description OS Power Management Allows you to enable or disable: ● ACPI S3 Hard Disk Reset ● PCI Express ASPM Support Computer Setup-Advanced Menu NOTE: Support for specific Computer Setup options may vary depending on the hardware configuration. Table 5-6 Computer Setup-Advanced (for advanced users) Option Heading Power-On Options Allows you to set: ● 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. However, 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. However, 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. However, 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 option ROMs. (This feature is supported on some models only.) ● POST Delay (None, 5, 10 15, or 20 seconds). 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 select F10 to enter Computer (F10) Setup. ● I/O APIC Mode (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will allow Microsoft Windows Operating Systems to run optimally. This feature must be disabled for certain non-Microsoft Operating Systems to work properly. Execute Memory Test Allows you to test memory. This test reboots the system. BIOS Power-On Allows you to set the days of the week and the time of day the BIOS powers on.
