Table 6-5 Computer Setup—Advanced (for advanced users) (continued)
Management
Operations
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 configuration. Default is enabled.
●
Unconfigure AMT/ME (enable/disable). Allows you to unconfigure 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 unconfigured. Default is disabled.
●
Hide Unconfigure ME Confirmation Prompt (enable/disable). Allows you to set the system to
not display the confirmation to unconfigure 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.
Option ROM Launch
Policy
(Windows 8 only). Windows 8 installs as a UEFI operating system (as opposed to ‘legacy’), and
ships with the ‘Legacy Support’ setting off in the BIOS. When ‘Legacy Support’ is off, the Option
ROM Launch Policies are set to ‘UEFI Only’. These policies control whether the Legacy Option ROM
or the UEFI driver is loaded for the following features:
●
PXE Option ROMs (UEFI Only/Do Not Launch). Specifies whether the legacy option ROM or
the UEFI driver in the BIOS is used to provide PXE services.
●
Storage Option ROMs (UEFI Only/Do Not Launch). Specifies whether the legacy option ROM
or the UEFI driver in the BIOS is used to provide RAID setup and support.
●
Video Option ROMs (UEFI Only/Do Not Launch). Specifies whether the legacy VBIOS or the
UEFI driver in the BIOS is used to provide graphics setup and support.
Connected BIOS Enables or disables the feature that updates the BIOS using the network.
●
Connected BIOS (Enabled/Disabled). Enables or disables BIOS network support. Default is
enabled.
●
Use Proxy (Enabled/Disabled). When enabled, displays Proxy Address field to configure
the URL of the proxy server. Default is disabled.
