POST Behavior
Fastboot
(On default)
When enabled, this feature reduces computer startup time by bypassing some
compatibility steps. Off does not skip any steps during computer startup. On starts the
system more quickly.
Numlock Key
(On default)
Determines the functionality of the numeric keys on the right side of your keyboard.
Off commands the right keypad keys to function as arrows. On commands the right
keypad keys to function as numbers.
POST Hotkeys Determines whether the sign-on screen displays a message stating the keystroke
sequence that is required to enter the Setup program or the Quickboot feature. Setup
& Boot Menu displays both messages (F2=Setup and F12=Boot Menu). Setup displays
the setup message only (F2=Setup). Boot Menu displays the Quickboot message only
(F12=Boot Menu). None displays no message.
Keyboard Errors When set to Report (enabled) and an error is detected during POST, the BIOS will
display the error message and prompt you to press <F1> to continue or press <F2>
to enter system setup.
When set to Do Not Report (disabled) and an error is detected during POST, the
BIOS will display the error message and continue booting the system.
