Hardware Reset Protect

Common Options : Enabled, Disabled

Quick Review

This BIOS feature is very useful for file servers and routers that need to be running 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When it is enabled, the hardware reset button will be disabled. This prevents the possibility of any accidental resets. When disabled, the reset button will function as normal.

If you are running a mission-critical server or have kids who just love to press little red buttons, it is highly recommended that you enable this feature. Otherwise, it is really up to your preference. Naturally, people using buggy operating systems or applications are advised to keep this feature disabled for more convenient reboots. Heheh. :)
