Power Management

Wake on LAN

This option allows the computer to power up from the off state
when triggered by a special LAN signal. Wake-up from the
Standby state is unaffected by this setting and must be
enabled in the operating system. This feature only works when
the computer is connected to AC power supply.

Disabled — Does not allow the system to power on by

special LAN signals when it receives a wake-up signal

from the LAN or wireless LAN.

LAN Only — Allows the system to be powered on by

special LAN signals.

This option is Disabled by default.

POST Behavior

Numlock LED

Allows you to enable or disable the Numlock feature when
your computer starts. This option is enabled by default.

Keyboard Errors

Allows you to enable or disable the keyboard error reporting
when the computer starts. This option is enabled by default.

POST Hotkeys

Allows you to specify the function keys to display on the
screen when the computer starts.

Fast Boot

This option can speed up the boot process by bypassing some
compatibility steps:

Minimal — The system boots quickly, unless the BIOS has

been updated, memory changed, or the previous POST did

not complete.

Thorough — The system does not skip any steps in the

boot process.

Auto — This allows the operating system to control this

setting (this works only when the operating system

supports Simple Boot Flag).

This option is set to Thorough by default.

Virtualization Support

Virtualization

This option specifies whether a Virtual Machine Monitor
(VMM) can utilize the additional hardware capabilities
