Step 3: Disabling Boot Monitoring Function

Check whether the power is ON and make settings for properly performing setup for later on.
This equipment has a function to monitor the main unit at startup. (Enabled in the configuration at shipment)
When reinstalling the operating system, this monitoring function needs to be disabled. Otherwise the installation may
not be done properly. Follow the steps in this section and make proper settings.
IMPORTANT:
If you skip the settings described here, the system will be restarted forcefully while Windows setup screen is
shown and the setup will be unsuccessful; BIOS may repeat Windows setup in an invalid manner. In this case,
you will need to restart the setup procedures from the beginning.
TIPS:
For details of operations for BIOS Setup Utility and parameters, see the separate volume of User Guide.
