3.14.4.9 Hard Disk Pre-Delay

Sets the hard disk drive pre-delay. The options are:

• Disabled (default)

• 3 seconds

• 6 seconds

• 9 seconds

• 12 seconds

• 15 seconds

• 21 seconds

• 30 seconds

When enabled, this option causes the BIOS to wait the specified time before it accesses the first

hard drive.

If your computer contains a hard drive, and you don’t see the drive type displayed during boot-up,

the hard drive may need more time before it is able to communicate with the controller. Setting a

pre-delay provides additional time for the hard drive to initialize.

• Default (default)

• Override

Choosing Override enables the Typematic Rate Delay and Typematic Rate setup options.
