keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are
pressed during POST. To purposely configure the
system without a keyboard, set the error halt
condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT
KEYBOARD. The BIOS then ignores the missing
keyboard during POST.

configuration, the BIOS can override the current
configuration with a set of BIOS defaults designed
for the most stable, minimal-performance system
operations.
