Catching F2 on Boot to get to BIOS

Post by emurach »

My Intense boots really Fast.

There a Samsung 840Pro 512GB 2.5" and a Muskin 480 MSATA

I can't seem to catch the F2 to get to bios setup.

It just speeds on by to the OS or boot drive or SHELL

I pulled to hard drive to get it to boot the USB to update the BIOS.

I was able to get into bios once. I checked the settings and enabled UEFI boot. On reboot w/o the C: OS boot drive installed or the USB key it just went to SHELL. the SECURE TIANO 2.2 screen went by way to fast. Pressing F2 did nothing. Now I'm using a RF Keyboard but I did NOT enable fast boot in BIOS. It should wait for a few seconds for the key press but its not.

It been this way since the original BIOS. I own two PC Intense Pro. They both have the issue. But the bedroom a bit faster.

Any ideas here why this happens. Normally I don't care I just want it to boot to windows. But some times I want to get to the bios setup. I'd like to wait 3sec on boot for the F2 press like a on a decent bios machine.

To enter the BIOS please use a wired USB keyboard (to eliminate RF drivers issues) on USB2.0 ports.
USB3.0 ports are not operational during boot.

Hold down the F2 button while you turn on the Intense PC, then release and press F2 fast for a few times. It may take some tries to enter the BIOS.

I had problems with a cheap PS/2 to USB converter. First after changing the adapter and using the instructions just provided, I can enter the BIOS reliable without removing the HDD.
