OptiPlex 5080 Tower Setup and specifications guide

Post behavior

Table 1. POST BehaviorThe following table describes the information about the computer’s post behavior:
Option Description
Adapter Warnings This option lets you choose whether the system displays warning messages when you use certain power adapters. This option is enabled by default.
Numlock LED Allows you to enable or disable the Numlock feature when your computer starts. This option is enabled by default.
Keyboard Errors Allows you to enable or disable the keyboard error reporting when the computer starts. The option Enable Keyboard Error Detection is enabled by default.
Fast Boot This option can speed up the boot process by bypassing some compatibility steps:
  • Minimal — The system boots quickly, unless the BIOS has been updated, memory changed, or the previous POST did not complete.
  • Thorough — The system does not skip any steps in the boot process.
  • Auto — This allows the operating system to control this setting (this works only when the operating system supports Simple Boot Flag).
This option is set to Thorough by default.
Extend BIOS POST Time This option creates an additional pre-boot delay.
  • 0 seconds (default)
  • 5 seconds
  • 10 seconds
Full Screen Logo This option will display full screen logo if your image match screen resolution. The option Enable Full Screen Logo is not set by default.
Warnings and Errors This option causes the boot process to only pause when warning or errors are detected. Choose any one of the option:
  • Prompt on Warnings and Errors - default
  • Continue on Warnings
  • Continue on Warnings and Errors
