Table 6-5 Computer Setup—Advanced (for advanced users) (continued)
Onboard Devices Allows you to set resources for or disable Legacy devices.
Select the Legacy device's IRQ, DMA, and I/O Range. The settings may not take effect for all
operating systems. To hide a device from the operating system, see Security > Device Security.
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 configuration
space; only needed when more than one graphics controller is installed. 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 (off/on). Default is off.
●
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.
●
Internal Speaker (does not affect external speakers). Default is enabled.
●
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 1 MB 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.
Option ROM Launch
Policy
Let you set the launch policy for option ROMs. An Option ROM typically consists of firmware that is
called by the system BIOS. For example, an adapter card that controls a boot device might contain
firmware that is used to connect the device to the system once the Option ROM is loaded.
●
PXE Option ROMs (legacy only/EFI only/do not launch)
●
Storage Option ROMs (legacy only/EFI only/do not launch)
●
Video Option ROMs (legacy only/EFI only)
●
NetClone Option ROMs (legacy only/do not launch)
Recovering the Configuration Settings
This method of recovery requires that you first perform the Save to Removable Media command
with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility before Restore is needed. (See
Computer Setup—File
on page 66 in the Computer Setup—File table.)
NOTE: It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a USB flash
media device and save the device for possible future use.
To restore the configuration, insert the USB flash media device with the saved configuration and
perform the Restore from Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility.
(See Computer Setup—File on page 66 in the Computer Setup—File table.)
