Dell E30S Series

Option Description
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 changes
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.
