BIOS Boot Optimizations
Use of the following BIOS Setup program settings reduces the POST execution time.
• In the Boot Menu, set the hard disk drive as the first boot device. As a result, the

POST execution time.
POST execution time.
• In the Peripheral Configuration submenu, disable the LAN device if it will not be
used. This can reduce up to four seconds of option ROM boot time.
NOTE
It is possible to optimize the boot process to the point where the system boots so
quickly that the Intel logo screen (or a custom logo splash screen) will not be seen.
Monitors and hard disk drives with minimum initialization times can also contribute to
a boot time that might be so fast that necessary logo screens and POST messages
cannot be seen.

Monitors and hard disk drives with minimum initialization times can also contribute to
a boot time that might be so fast that necessary logo screens and POST messages
cannot be seen.
This boot time may be so fast that some drives might be not be initialized at all. If
this condition should occur, it is possible to introduce a programmable delay ranging
from three to 30 seconds (using the Hard Disk Pre-Delay feature of the Advanced
Menu in the Drive Configuration Submenu of the BIOS Setup program).
