Table 6-6 Computer Setup—Advanced (for advanced users) (continued)
●
PCI VGA Palette Snooping is not used. Default is disabled.
Device Options Allows you to set:
●
Printer mode (Bi-Directional, EPP + ECP, Output Only). ECP = Enhanced Capabilities Port, EPP =
Enhanced Parallel Port. Default is EPP+ECP.
●
Num Lock State at Power-On (o/on). Default is o.
●
Integrated Video (enable/disable). Use this option to disable the integrated video controller when
another video controller is present in the system. Default is enabled.
●
Integrated Graphics (Auto/Disable/Force) Use this option to manage integrated (UMA) graphics
memory allocation. The value you choose is allocated permanently to graphics and is unavailable to
the operating system. For example, if you set this value to 512M on a system with 2 GB of RAM, the
system always allocates 512 MB for graphics and the other 1.5 GB for use by the BIOS and operating
system. Default is Auto which sets memory allocation to 512 MB.
If you select Force, the UMA Frame Buer Size option displays, which lets you set the UMA memory
size allocation between 32 MB and 1 GB.
●
Internal Speaker (does not aect external speakers). Default is enabled.
●
NIC PXE Option ROM Download (PXE, iSCSI, disabled). The BIOS contains an embedded NIC option
ROM to allow the unit to boot through the network to a PXE server. This is typically used to download
a corporate image to a hard drive. The NIC option ROM takes up memory space below 1MB
commonly referred to as DOS Compatibility Hole (DCH) space. This space is limited. This F10 option
will allow users to disable the downloading of this embedded NIC option ROM thus giving more DCH
space for additional PCI cards which may need option ROM space. The default will be to have the NIC
option-ROM-enabled. Default is PXE.
●
SATA RAID Option ROM Download (enable/disable). The BIOS contains an embedded SATA RAID
option ROM for RAID support. This can be temporarily disabled to save DCH space. Note that with the
option ROM disabled, users will be unable to boot to hard drives in the system while running in RAID
mode. Default is disabled.
●
Multi-Processor (enable/disable). Use this option to disable multi-processor support under the OS.
Default is enabled.
●
Hyper threading (enable/disable). Use this option to disable processor hyper-threading.
●
Turbo Mode (enable/disable). Allows you to enable and disable the Intel Turbo Mode feature, which
allows one core of the system to run at a higher than standard frequency and power if other cores
are idle. Default is enabled.
VGA Conguration Displayed only if there is an add-in video card in the system. Allows you to specify which VGA controller
will be the “boot” or primary VGA controller.
AMT Conguration Allows you to set:
●
AMT (enable/disable). Allows you to enable or disable functions of the embedded Management
Engine (ME) such as Active Management Technology (AMT). If set to disable, the Management Engine
is set to a temporarily disabled state and will not provide functions beyond necessary system
conguration. Default is enabled.
●
Uncongure AMT/ME (enable/disable). Allows you to uncongure any provisioned management
settings for AMT. The AMT settings are restored to factory defaults. This feature should be used with
caution as AMT will not be able to provide any set AMT management functions once uncongured.
Default is disabled.
●
Hide Uncongure ME Conrmation Prompt (enable/disable). Allows you to set the system to not
display the conrmation to uncongure ME.
●
Watchdog Timer (enable/disable). Allows you to set amount of time for a operating system and BIOS
watchdog alert to be sent if the timers are not deactivated. BIOS watchdog is deactivated by BIOS
and would indicate that a halt occurred during execution if the alert is sent to the management
console. An operating system alert is deactivated by the operating system image and would indicate
that a hang occurred during its initialization. Default is enabled.
