Some of the options are the same as options on the sys-
tem setup screens. The options on the System Board
Configuration Options menu work the same as similarly
named categories in the system setup program. For
details on using the system setup program options, see
the corresponding subsection in Chapter 4, “Using the
System Setup Program.”

System Identification and Version Information
•
System Identification String (display only)
•
Config and Overlay Version (display only)
•
BIOS Version String (display only)
•
MP Spec. Version (1.4 [Dell-specified default] or
1.1).
If the system configuration utility values are reset,
you must change this value to 1.4.
System Processor Modules
•
Displays processor type and speed for all installed
microprocessors
System Processor Status
•
Processor Status (indicates if a microprocessor has
failed)
System Performance
•
Power-On Speed (Fast [default] or Slow)
•
Secondary IOAPIC Control (Enabled or Disabled
[default])
Memory Subsystem Group
•
Base Memory (512 or 640 [default] KB)
•
Shadowing ISA ROMs Option (shadowing can be
enabled at C0000, C4000, C8000, CC000, D0000,
D4000, D8000, DC000, E0000, or E4000)
All on-board adapter ROM (stored in compressed
form in the system flash ROM) and PCI adapter
ROM is shadowed into random-access memory
(RAM) in the ISA-compatible ROM adapter mem-
ory space between C0000h to E7FFFh. Any basic
input/output system (BIOS) found on ISA or EISA
devices that can be shadowed is shadowed into
adapter memory space in the same range after initial-
ization. ISA cards that require memory-mapped
read/write accessibility should be located into the
15 megabyte (MB) to 16 MB ISA space, or the
512 kilobyte (KB) to 640 KB space, which may be
enabled individually via the system configuration
utility. Shadowing for ISA devices can be disabled
for various regions via the system configuration util-
ity. A PCI BIOS is always shadowed.
•
Extended Memory Options (cache mode menu dis-
plays Enabled [default] or Disabled, 1 MB ISA Hole
Enabled or Disabled [default])
On-Board Disk Controllers

If the system configuration utility is reset to its
default values, you must change this category to
Disabled.
