Miscellaneous Settings details
The Miscellaneous Settings screen details are explained as follows:
Option
Description
System Time Enables you to set the time on the appliance.
System Date Enables you to set the date on the appliance.
Asset Tag Specifies the asset tag and enables you to modify it for security and tracking purposes.
Keyboard NumLock Enables you to set whether the appliance boots with the NumLock enabled or disabled. This option is set to On by
default.
NOTE: This option does not apply to 84-key keyboards.
F1/F2 Prompt on
Error
Enables or disables the F1/F2 prompt on error. This option is set to Enabled by default. The F1/F2 prompt also
includes keyboard errors.
Load Legacy Video
Option ROM
Enables you to determine whether the system BIOS loads the legacy video (INT 10H) option ROM from the video
controller. Selecting Enabled in the operating system does not support UEFI video output standards. This field is
available only for UEFI boot mode. You cannot set the option to Enabled if UEFI Secure Boot mode is enabled.
In-System
Characterization
Enables or disables In-System Characterization. This option is set to Disabled by default. The two other options
are Enabled and Enabled - No Reboot.
NOTE: The default setting for In-System Characterization is subject to change in future BIOS releases.
When enabled, In-System Characterization (ISC) executes during POST upon detecting relevant change(s) in
appliance configuration to optimize appliance power and performance. ISC takes about 20 seconds to execute,
and appliance reset is needed for ISC results to be applied. The Enabled - No Reboot option executes ISC and
continues without applying ISC results until the next time appliance reset occurs. The Enabled option executes
ISC and forces an immediate appliance reset so that ISC results can be applied. It takes the appliance longer to be
ready due to the forced appliance reset. When disabled, ISC does not execute.
