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.
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.

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.

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.

Flash Write Protection

This function protects the BIOS from accidental corruption by unauthorized
users or computer viruses. W hen enabled, the BIOS data cannot be changed
when attempting to update the BIOS with a Flash utility. To successfully update
the BIOS, you will need to disable this Flash Protection function.
