Boot Configuration Features

► Quick Boot

While Enabled, this option allows BIOS to skip certain tests while booting, this will shorten the
time needed to boot the system.

► Quiet Boot

This item is used to enable/disable the quiet boot.
[Disabled] : Displays the normal POST messages.
[Enabled] : Displays OEM Logo instead of POST messages.

► AddOn ROM Display Mode

This item is used to set the display mode for option ROM. When Quiet Boot is enabled, this
option controls whether output from the option ROM is displayed.
The available settings are : Force BIOS; Keep Current.

► Interrupt 19 Capture

Interrupt 19 is the software interrupt that handles the boot disk function. It is typically handled
by the motherboard BIOS although it can also be handled by the optional boot ROM BIOS in
some IDE/SCSI host adaptors.
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 access 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 "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.
If you use separate IDE/SCSI host adaptors, you should enable this BIOS feature if you wish
to boot from any drive attached to your host adaptors. It will also allow you to gain access to
any ROM based setup utilities.
However, if you are not using any separate IDE/SCSI host adaptors, it's recommended that
you disable this BIOS feature.
[Enabled] : Allows option ROM to trap interrupt 19.
