Table 3-1 Computer Setup (F10) Utility menu descriptions (continued) Heading Option Description Allows the PS2 mouse to wake from ACPI S3. PS2 keyboards are always enabled. (Disabling this option means that nudging the mouse will not trigger a system wake.) USB Wake on Device Insertion Enables the USB controllers to generate a wake event when a device is plugged in while the system is in an ACPI sleep state. The matching USB controller must be set to wake the system (from Windows, this is done from Device Manager, using the Power Management tab for that controller, and setting the Allow this device to wake up the system check box). Hardware Power Management SATA Power Management Enables you to enable or disable SATA power management. This option still works when the controller is in RAID + AHCI mode. Thermal Fan Idle Mode This setting changes the minimum fan speed. The fans are still automatically controlled. Advanced Power-On ** Options Allows you to set: ● POST Mode (QuickBoot, FullBoot, or FullBoot every 1-30 days). ● POST Messages (Enable/Disable). ● F9 Prompt (Enable/Disable). Enabling this feature will display the text F9=Boot Menu during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed. However, pressing the F9 key will still access the boot menu. ● F10 Prompt (Enable/Disable). Enabling this feature displays the text F10=Setup during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed but pressing F10 still accesses the Setup screen. ● F11 Prompt (Enable/Disable). Makes the Factory Recovery option visible during POST. ● F12 Prompt (Enable/Disable). Enabling this feature displays the text F12=Network Service Boot during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed but pressing F12 still forces the system to attempt booting from the network. ● Factory Recovery Boot Support (Enable/Disable). Recovery partition (HDD) option available for Vista. Vista leaves the factory with this support in place. ● Option ROM* prompt (Enable/Disable). Enabling this feature causes the system to display a message before loading options ROMs. ● Remote Wakeup Boot Source ● After Power Loss (on/off) ● POST Delay (in seconds) (Enable/Disable). Enabling this feature adds a user-specified delay to the POST process. This delay is sometimes needed for hard disks on some PCI cards that spin up 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 Setup (F10). ● I/O APIC Mode (Enable/Disable) ● Limit (PUID Maximum Value to 3) (Enable/Disable) ● Setup Browse Mode (Enable/Disable) ● ACPI/USB Buffers @ Top of Memory (Enable/Disable) F9 Prompt (enable/disable) When enabled, displays F9=Boot Menu during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed, but pressing F9 still accesses the boot menu. F10 prompt (enable/disable) 28 Chapter 3 System management ENWW
