■ 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, optical drives,
or LS-120 drives.
■ Configure the boot priority of IDE (ATA) and USB hard drive controllers.
■ 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,

occurs, the error is displayed regardless of the mode selected. To manually switch to POST
Messages Enabled during POST, press any key (except
F1 through F12).

or restarted.

power-on.
■ Establish a setup password that controls access to Computer Setup (F10) Utility and the
settings described in this section.

embedded NIC, so that they cannot be used until they are unsecured.
■ Enable or disable Master Boot Record (MBR) Security.
■ Enable or disable removable media boot ability.
■ Enable or disable removable media write ability (when supported by hardware).
■ Solve system configuration errors detected but not automatically fixed during the Power-On
Self-Test (POST).
