Power-On Options

Allows you to set:

• POST mode (QuickBoot, FullBoot, or FullBoot every 1-30 days).
• POST messages (enable/disable).
F9 prompt (enable/disable or hidden/displayed). Enabling

this feature will display the text F9=Boot Menu during POST.

Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed but

pressing F9 will still access the Shortcut Boot (Order) Menu

screen. See Storage > Boot Order for more information.

F10 prompt (enable/disable or hidden/displayed). Enabling

this feature will display the text F10=Setup during POST.

Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed but

pressing F10 will still access the Setup screen.

F12 prompt (enable/disable or hidden/displayed). Enabling

this feature will display the text F12=Network Service Boot

during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being

displayed but pressing F12 will still force the system to attempt

booting from the network.

• Option ROM prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature

will cause the system to display a message before loading

options ROMs. (This feature is supported on some models only.)

• Remote wakeup boot source (remote server/local hard drive).
• After Power Loss (off/on/previous state): Set this option to:

•Off - causes the computer to remain powered off when power

is restored.

•On - causes the computer to power on automatically as soon

as power is restored.

•On - allows you to power on the computer using a power strip

switch, if the computer is connected to an electric power strip.

•Previous state - causes the computer to power on automatically

as soon as power is restored, if it was on when power was

lost.

If you turn off power to your computer using the switch on a

power strip, you will not be able to use the suspend/sleep feature

or the Remote Management features.

• POST Delay (None, 5, 10, 15, or 20 seconds)

(enable/disable). Enabling this feature will add a user-specified

delay to the POST process. This delay is sometimes needed for

hard disks on some PCI cards that spin up very slowly; so slowly

that they are not ready to boot by the time POST is finished. The

POST delay also gives you more time to press F10 to enter

Computer (F10) Setup.
