Setting the floppy seek option
If you set the Disk drive boot sequence option to
C: only, you can disable the Floppy seek option so the
system does not try to access the diskette drive at startup.
Disabling the Floppy seek option decreases the time needed
to boot the system.
Disabling the SETUP prompt
The Display SETUP prompt during POST option allows
you to disable the message Press <F2> to enter SETUP
that you see during power-on diagnostics. You may want to
disable this prompt to prevent unauthorized users from seeing
the SETUP prompt. Even when the message is disabled,
however, you can still start SETUP by pressing F2 within the
allowed amount of time.
Disabling power-on diagnostic error messages
The Pause on POST errors option allows you to disable
the error message and the message Press <F1> to
resume, <F2> to Setup that you see when the system
identifies a configuration error. If you disable this option, the
system ignores configuration errors it finds during power-on
diagnostics and starts as it normally would. It’s a good idea to
keep this option enabled.
Disabling the system summary screen
By disabling the System summary screen at boot
option, you can disable the system summary screen that you
see when you start the system. If you disable this option, your
system starts up faster. You can see the same screen by
selecting the System Summary option from the Main Menu.
