These factors affect system boot speed: 
•  Selecting and configuring peripherals properly 
•  Using an optimized BIOS, such as the Intel

®

 Rapid BIOS 

The following techniques help improve system boot speed: 
•  Choose a hard drive with parameters such as “power-up to data ready” less than eight seconds, 

that minimize hard drive startup delays. 

•  Select a CD-ROM drive with a fast initialization rate.  This rate can influence POST 

execution time. 

•  Eliminate unnecessary add-in adapter features, such as logo displays, screen repaints, or mode 

changes in POST.  These features may add time to the boot process. 

•  Try different monitors.  Some monitors initialize and communicate with the BIOS more 

quickly, which enables the system to boot more quickly.
