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.
