This
BIOS
feature
determines
if
the
BIOS
should
hide
the
normal
POST
mes-
sages
with
the
motherboard
or
system
manufacturer’s
full-screen
logo.
When
it
is
enabled,
the
BIOS
will
display
the
full-screen
logo
during
the
boot-
up
sequence,
hiding
normal
POST
messages.
When
it
is
disabled,
the
BIOS
will
display
the
normal
POST
messages,
instead
of
the
full-screen
logo.
Please
note
that
enabling
this
BIOS
feature
often
adds
2-3
seconds
of
delay
to
the
booting
sequence.
This
delay
ensures
that
the
logo
is
displayed
for
a
suf-
ficient
amount
of
time.
Therefore,
it
is
recommended
that
you
disable
this
BIOS
feature
for
a
faster
boot-up
time.
