Table 5-5 Computer Setup—Advanced (for advanced users) (continued)
Bus Options Allows you to enable or disable:
●
PCI SERR# Generation. Default is enabled.
●
PCI VGA Palette Snooping, which sets the VGA palette snooping bit in PCI conguration space; only
needed when more than one graphics controller is installed. Default is disabled.
Device Options Allows you to set:
●
Num Lock State at Power-On (o/on). Default is o.
●
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.
●
NIC PXE Option ROM Download (enable, disable). 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 is-enabled.
Recovering the Conguration Settings
This method of recovery requires that you rst perform the Save to Removable Media command with the
Computer Setup (F10) Utility before Restore is needed. (See Computer Setup—File on page 54 in the
Computer Setup—File table.)
NOTE: It is recommended that you save any modied computer conguration settings to a USB ash media
device and save the device for possible future use.
To restore the conguration, insert the USB ash media device with the saved conguration and perform the
Restore from Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. (See Computer Setup—File
on page 54 in the Computer Setup—File table.)
