Change POST Options

The system provides a rudimentary POST that runs each time the blade server boots to check the basic devices required for the system to operate.

The progress of the self-test is indicated by a series of POST codes.

You can configure the level of POST testing and some POST display features through the BIOS menus (see BIOS Screens).

  1. Initialize the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the F2 key while the system is performing the POST.

    The BIOS Main Menu screen is displayed. See BIOS Screen Navigation.

  2. From the BIOS Main Menu screen, select the Boot menu.

  3. From the Boot Settings screen, select Boot Settings Configuration.

  4. On the Boot Settings Configuration screen, you can enable or disable the options shown in the following table.


    Option
    Description
    Quick Boot
    This option is disabled by default. If you enable Quick Boot, the BIOS skips certain tests while booting, such as the extensive memory test. This decreases the time it takes for the system to boot.
    Quiet Boot
    This option is disabled by default.
