Before You Begin
See About the BIOS Setup Utility.
The BIOS Main Menu screen appears.
The Boot Settings screen appears.
The Boot Settings Configuration screen appears.
Quick Boot: This option is enabled by default. 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. If you enable this option, the Sun Microsystems logo appears instead of POST codes.
Wait for F1 if Error: This option is enabled by default. The system pauses if an error is found during POST and only resumes when you press the F1 key.
Retry Boot List: Automatically retries the boot list when all devices have failed. This option is enabled by default.
IB gPXE Boot First: Sets the on-board Infiniband gPXE to always boot first. This option is disabled by default.
