Option Description
System Date Enables you to set the date on the system.
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 system 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 system configuration to optimize system power and 
performance. ISC takes about 20 seconds to execute, and system 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 system reset occurs. The 
Enabled option executes ISC and forces an immediate system reset so that ISC 
results can be applied. It takes the system longer to be ready due to the forced 
system reset. When disabled, ISC does not execute.
