Bypassing Fast Boot

Machines from the labs may have been setup with Fast Boot. This prevents you from entering BIOS settings.

  • Ensure that the computer is not connected to the network (Ethernet). The computer may attempt to use its old IP address, which would cause a conflict with a machine using that IP address now.

  • Boot the computer. Allow it to fully boot. The power button and the border should light up with blue light.

  • Power down the machine.

    • Press and hold the power button until the power button light turns orange. It should take about three seconds. Release the power button.

    • Wait 30 seconds to see if the machine turns itself back on. If it does, press and hold the power button again, until the power button light turns orange. Release the power button.

    • The machine should stay powered off.

  • Press and release the power button to power on the machine.
