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.
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.

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.

Wait For ‘F1’ If Error

When 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.

Flash Write Protection

ized users or computer viruses.
