Quick Boot

Enabling this setting will cause the BIOS power-on self test routine to skip some

of its tests during bootup for faster system boot.

Quiet Boot

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

sufficient amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this

BIOS feature for a faster boot-up time.

PS/2 Mouse Support

Select [Enabled] if you need to use a PS/2-interfaced mouse in the operating

system.

error, it asks you to press F1. If disabled, the system continues to boot without

waiting for you to press any keys.

Hit

Set this option to [Disabled] to prevent the message as follows:

Hit Del if you want to run setup

It will prevent the message from appearing on the first BIOS screen when the

computer boots. Set it to [Enabled] when you want to run the BIOS Setup Utility.

Interrupt 19 Capture

Interrupt 19 is the software interrupt that handles the boot disk function. When

enabled, this BIOS feature allows the ROM BIOS of these host adaptors to

"capture" Interrupt 19 during the boot process so that drives attached to these

adaptors can function as bootable disks. In addition, it allows you to gain ac-
