This topic provides information specific to the Sun Blade X8450 Server Module.
The Boot Setting Configuration parameters are accessible from the Boot menu. There are five Boot Setting Configuration items: Quick Boot, Quiet Boot, Parity Check, Wait for F1, and Interrupt 19 Capture. Each configuration parameter is described below.
Boot Setting Configuration |
Description |
---|---|
Quick Boot |
If Quick Boot is enabled, BIOS skips the extended memory test that is normally part of the boot process, reducing boot time. |
Quiet Boot |
If Quiet Boot is enabled, the OEM logo is displayed during boot instead of POST messages. If Quiet Boot is disabled, POST messages are displayed during boot. |
Parity Check |
This configuration parameter can be enabled or disabled to run parity check/repair. The default setting is Disabled. |
Wait For F1 |
If this configuration parameter is enabled, BIOS will pause if a POST error occurs during boot until the F1 function key is pressed. Pressing F1 allows you to adjust the BIOS setting associated with the POST failure and continue the POST. |
Interrupt 19 Capture (system default = enabled) |
The Interrupt 19 Capture (Int 19h) is executed at the end of the boot up sequence, releasing control from BIOS to the operating system. Typically, a BIOS code within the Int 19h runtime algorithm parses through the Boot List, attempting to boot the each device. Third party Option ROMs can modify, or trap, the Int19h vector. If this happens, when Int19h is executed, control will be given to the Option ROM configuration utility instead of the operating system. If this configuration item is left disabled, Option ROMs will not be able to trap the Interrupt 19 Capture. |
