Boot Menu
Other Boot Device Select [INT18 Device (Network)]
Configuration options: [Disabled] [SCSI/Onboard ATA Boot Device] [INT18 De-
vice (Network)] [LANDesk (R) Service Agent]
Plug & Play O/S [No]
This field allows you to use a Plug-and-Play (PnP) operating system to configure
the PCI bus slots instead of using the BIOS. When [Yes] is selected, interrupts may
be reassigned by the OS. When a non-PnP OS is installed or you want to prevent
reassigning of interrupt settings, select the default setting of [No]. Configuration
options: [No] [Yes]
Reset Configuration Data [No]
The Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) contain information about non-
PnP devices. It can also hold the complete record of how the system was configured
the last time it was booted. Select [Yes] only if you want to clear these data during
the Power-On Self Test (POST). Configuration options: [No] [Yes]
Boot Virus Detection [Enabled]
This field allows you to set boot virus detection, ensuring a virus-free boot sector.
The system halts and displays a warning message when it detects a virus. If this
occurs, you can either allow the operation to continue or use a virus-free bootable
floppy disk to restart and investigate your system. Configuration options: [Disabled]
[Enabled]
Quick Power On Self Test [Enabled]
This field speeds up the Power-On-Self Test (POST) routine by skipping retesting a
second, third, and fourth time. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Boot Up Floppy Seek [Disabled]
When enabled, the BIOS will seek the floppy disk drive to determine whether the
drive has 40 or 80 tracks. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
