Narrative:
We were starting the number 2 engine at the beginning of 16R in ZZZ. While starting the engine tower called and cleared us for takeoff. We had been waiting for our edct (expected departure clearance time) time to ZZZ1 and were being released a little early. I responded that we were just starting our second engine and that we would need a bit. Tower said that's fine but that we were still cleared for takeoff when ready. I let the aircraft roll up to the runway while we were in the engine start. After the checklists were complete and the needed warm up time we took the runway. It was the first officer's (first officers) leg so once lined up I said 'your controls'. We were doing a rolling takeoff. Just as he was about to; or had pushed the power up we got an advisory message that said 'fuel feed 2 fault'. As it was not a warning or caution or any other item we had briefed for a rejected takeoff I told him to continue. Once at a safe altitude and cleaned up after takeoff I ran the QRH for the message that remained. The QRH said 'don't takeoff' end of procedure.I don't really have an answer for this. From the folks I've talked to more about this the advisory message we received should have come on sooner or not at all till after we were above a certain altitude.
