MS-9818 Mainboard Quick Boot Enabling this setting will cause the BIOS power-on self test routine to skip some of its tests during bootup for faster system boot. Quiet Boot This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST messages with the motherboard or system manufacturer's full-screen logo. W hen it is enabled, the BIOS will display the full-screen logo during the boot-up sequence, hiding normal POST messages. When it is disabled, the BIOS will display the normal POST messages, instead of the full-screen logo. Please note that enabling this BIOS feature often adds 2-3 seconds of delay to the booting sequence. This delay ensures that the logo is displayed for a sufficient amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this BIOS feature for a faster boot-up time. AddOn ROM Display M ode This item is used to determine the display mode when an optional ROM is initialized during POST. W hen set to [Force BIOS], the display mode used by AMI BIOS is used. Select [Keep Current] if you want to use the display mode of optional ROM. Bootup Num-Lock This setting is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on. Setting to [On] will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered on. Setting to [Off] will allow users to use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad. PS/2 M ouse Support Select [Enabled] if you need to use a PS/2-interfaced mouse in the operating system. Wait For 'F1' If Error W hen this setting is set to [Enabled] and the boot sequence encounters an error, it asks you to press F1. If disabled, the system continues to boot without waiting for you to press any keys. Hit 'DEL' Message Display Set this option to [Disabled] to prevent the message as follows: Hit Del if you want to run setup It will prevent the message from appearing on the first BIOS screen when the computer boots. Set it to [Enabled] when you want to run the BIOS Setup Utility. Interrupt 19 Capture Interrupt 19 is the software interrupt that handles the boot disk function. W hen enabled, this BIOS feature allows the ROM BIOS of these host adaptors to "capture" Interrupt 19 during the boot process so that drives attached to these adaptors can function as bootable disks. In addition, it allows you to gain access to the host adaptor's ROM setup utility, if one is available. W hen disabled, the ROM BIOS of these host adaptors will not be able to "capture" Interrupt 19. Therefore, you will not be able to boot operating systems from any bootable disks attached to these host adaptors. Nor will you be able to gain access to their ROM setup utilities. 3-20

Quick Boot
Enabling this setting will cause the BIOS power-on self test routine to skip some
of its tests during bootup for faster system boot.
Quiet Boot
This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST mes-
sages with the motherboard or system manufacturer's full-screen logo.
When it is enabled, the BIOS will display the full-screen logo during the boot-up
sequence, hiding normal POST messages.
When it is disabled, the BIOS will display the normal POST messages, instead of
the full-screen logo.
Please note that enabling this BIOS feature often adds 2-3 seconds of delay to
the booting sequence. This delay ensures that the logo is displayed for a
sufficient amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this
BIOS feature for a faster boot-up time.
AddOn ROM Display Mode
This item is used to determine the display mode when an optional ROM is
initialized during POST. When set to [Force BIOS], the display mode used by AMI
BIOS is used.
Select [Keep Current] if you want to use the display mode of
optional ROM.
Bootup Num-Lock
This setting is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on.
Setting to [On] will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered on.
Setting to [Off] will allow users to use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad.
PS/2 Mouse Support
Select [Enabled] if you need to use a PS/2-interfaced mouse in the operating
system.

It will prevent the message from appearing on the first BIOS screen when the
computer boots. Set it to [Enabled] when you want to run the BIOS Setup Utility.
Interrupt 19 Capture
Interrupt 19 is the software interrupt that handles the boot disk function. When
enabled, this BIOS feature allows the ROM BIOS of these host adaptors to
"capture" Interrupt 19 during the boot process so that drives attached to these
adaptors can function as bootable disks. In addition, it allows you to gain ac-
cess to the host adaptor's ROM setup utility, if one is available.
When disabled, the ROM BIOS of these host adaptors will not be able to "cap-
ture" Interrupt 19. Therefore, you will not be able to boot operating systems
from any bootable disks attached to these host adaptors. Nor will you be able to
gain access to their ROM setup utilities.
