4.3.1.2.2 
Quiet Boot / OEM Splash Screen 
The BIOS implements Quiet Boot, providing minimal startup display during BIOS POST.  
System start-up must only draw the end user’s attention in the event of errors or when there is a 
need for user action.  By default, the system must be configured so that the local screen does 
not display memory counts, device status, etc.  It must present a "clean" BIOS start-up.  The 
only screen display allowed is the OEM splash screen and copyright notices.   
The Quiet Boot process is controlled by a Setup Quiet-Boot option.  If this option is set, the 
BIOS displays an activity indicator at the top of the screen and a logo splash screen in the 
middle section of the screen on the local console.   The activity indicator measures POST 
progress and continues until the operating system gains control of the system.  The splash 
screen covers up any diagnostic messages in the middle section of the screen.  While the logo 
is being displayed on the local console, diagnostic messages are being displayed on the remote 
text consoles. 
Quiet Boot may be disabled by disabling the Setup Quiet-Boot option or by the user pressing 
the <Esc> key while in Quiet Boot mode.  If Quiet Boot is disabled, the BIOS displays diagnostic 
messages in place of the activity indicator and the splash screen. 
With the use of an Intel supplied utility, the BIOS allows OEMs to override the standard Intel 
logo with one of their own design 
4.3.1.3 
POST Activity Window 
The bottom portion of the screen is reserved for the POST Activity window.  On a graphics 
console, the window is 640x48.  On a text console, the window is 80x2. 
The POST Activity window is used to display prompts for hot keys, as well as provide 
information on system status. 
4.3.2 
BIOS Boot Popup Menu 
The BIOS Boot Specification (BBS) provides for a Boot Menu Popup invoked by pressing the 
<ESC> key during POST. The BBS Popup menu displays all available boot devices. The list 
order in the popup menu is not the same as the boot order in BIOS setup; it simply lists all the 
bootable devices from which the system can be booted.
