Power-On Self-Test Use this option to set the level of power-on self testing (Quick or Enhanced) that will be done during the power-on sequence. Note The Quick setting reduces the amount of testing; however, Quick setting is not recommended when using an unattended start mode. Power on Logos Use this option to control whether or not logos are displayed during the power-on sequence. Power On F1/Esc Option Use this option to control whether or not the F1 and Esc key options are displayed during the power-on sequence. This setting does not affect the behavior of these keys, only the display of the options. Power On Status Use this option to control whether or not power-on status indicators (such as memory count and system check points) are displayed during the power-on sequence. This option also controls the power-on beeps. Virus Detection Use this option to specify whether you want the virus checker that comes with the server BIOS to check for viruses each time you turn on your server. When virus detection is enabled, your server checks the master boot record to see if the information has changed since the last time you turned on the server. If the information has changed, the BIOS will display a message that warns that your system might contain a virus. Note This option does not have an effect on the supplied anti-virus program or on additional virus checking programs you may have purchased. It also does not remove viruses from your server.

Power-On Self-Test
Use this option to set the level of
power-on self testing (Quick or Enhanced)

want the virus checker that comes with the
server BIOS to check for viruses each time
you turn on your server.
When virus
detection is enabled, your server checks the
master boot record to see if the information
has changed since the last time you turned
on the server.
If the information has
changed, the BIOS will display a message
that warns that your system might contain a
virus.
Note
This option does not have an effect on
the supplied anti-virus program or on
additional virus checking programs you
may have purchased.
