Product Settings Policy — Boot Options tab

The Boot Options tab under the Product Settings Policy allows you to define the boot settings for the Product Settings Policy of Drive Encryption.

Option	Definition
Enable Boot Manager	Activates the built-in pre-boot partition manager. This allows you to select the primary partition on the hard disk that you want to boot. Naming of the partition is also possible with the boot manager. The timeout for the booting to start can also be set.
Always enable pre-boot USB support	Forces the Drive Encryption Pre-Boot code to always initialize the USB stack. USB audio functionality allows the visually impaired users to listen to an audio signal (spoken word) as a guidance when the user moves the cursor from one field to the next, in the Pre-Boot environment. The USB speakers and headphones can be used to listen to the audio signal. Note You will notice an improper synchronization of the mouse cursor and the stylus on USB connected Wacom pen digitizers. To avoid this, make sure to enable this option. For more details, see Enable Accessibility (USB audio devices) in the Pre-Boot environment.
Enable pre-boot PCMCIA support	If selected, the policy enables pre-boot PCMCIA support.
Graphics mode	Allows you to select the screen resolution for a system or a system group. The default option is Automatic.
Duplicate	Duplicates or copies the policy with a different name and this can be assigned to a different user.
