Overview of BIOS Features

3.9.2 Intel Rapid BIOS Boot

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 does not first seek a

diskette drive, which saves about one second from the POST execution time.

• Disable Quiet Boot, which eliminates display of the logo splash screen. This could save

several seconds of painting complex graphic images and changing video modes.

• Enabled Intel Rapid BIOS Boot. This feature bypasses memory count and the search for a

diskette drive.

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.

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 3 to 30 seconds

(using the Hard Disk Pre-Delay feature of the Advanced Menu in the IDE Configuration Submenu

of the BIOS Setup program).

IDE Configuration Submenu in the BIOS Setup program Section 4.4.4, page 106
