Fast boot PowerEdge 2850s

[Harald_Jensas at Dell.com]

Hi,

1. Disable system memory testing in BIOS.
2. Disable any SCSI Controller/SCSI Channel you are not using.
3. Remove any PCI card/controller card not in use.
4. I belive you can also tell the BMC not to display the Press CTRL-E message for 5 seconds.
