Checkbox
If enabled, BIOS will display function key prompts during
POST. Function key input will still be accepted even if
prompts are disabled.
Power Sense
Power
Checkbox
When enabled, the Power Sense will monitor the input
power from the power supply and will assert PROCHOT#
to the CPU if the power is high enough that is risks
causing the power adapter to shut down.
Power Supervisor
Shutdown
Power
Checkbox
The system will always light an LED and update the
BIOS Event Log if power supply voltages are outside
safe ranges. This can be triggered by problems with the
system power supply or the power grid.
If Shutdown is enabled, the system will immediately
power down to help protect the system from damage,
and the BIOS will pause to display a notification during
the next boot.
