Computer Setup Utilities (F10)
Use Computer Setup to do the following:
■
Change factory default settings.
■
Set the system date and time.
■
Set, view, change, or verify the system configuration, including
settings for processor, graphics, memory, audio, storage,
communications, and input devices.
■
Modify the boot order of bootable devices such as hard drives,
diskette drives, CD-ROM drives, DVD-ROM drives, or LS-120
drives.
■
Configure the boot priority of UATA and SCSI hard drives
controllers.
■
Configure Quiet Drive options (for drives that support this
feature).
■
Enable Quick Boot, which is faster than Full Boot but does not run
all of the diagnostic tests run during a Full Boot. You can set your
system to:
❏
always Quick Boot (default);
❏
periodically Full Boot (from every 1 to 30 days); or
❏
always Full Boot.
■
Enable or disable Network Server Mode, which allows the
computer to boot the operating system when the power-on
password is enabled, with or without a keyboard or mouse
attached. When attached to the system, the keyboard and mouse
remain locked until the power-on password is entered.
■
Select Post Messages Enabled or Disabled to change the display
status of Power-On Self-Test (POST) messages. Post Messages
Disabled suppresses most POST messages, such as memory count,
product name, and other non-error text messages. If a POST error
occurs, the error is displayed regardless of the mode selected. To
manually switch to Post Messages Enabled during POST, press
any key (except F10 or F12).
