2-8 PCWS 2015 Setup Guide - 2nd Edition
PCWS 2015 BIOS
Advanced
USB Legacy [Enabled]
Enables support for USB devices such as keyboards and mice, but adds
support for mass storage.
Console Redirection [Disabled]
Console Redirection is a debug feature where the display console is
redirected over a serial port.
[Enabled] - causes the BIOS to always use the serial port as the
console, without testing for the presence of the terminal emulation
program.
[Disabled] - causes the BIOS to never invoke console redirection, but
instead always use the main keyboard and video display.
UEFI Boot [Enabled]
This selection enables the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, a
specification that defines a software interface between an operating system
and platform software. The UEFI Specification is developed by the Unified
EFI Platform Forum, an industry-wide organization. UEFI specification
2.3, was approved in May 2009.
UEFI is not restricted to a particular processor architecture, and can run on
top of or in place of traditional BIOS implementations. The Phoenix
SecureCore Tiano BIOS fully supports the UEFI implementation.
UEFI includes a pre-boot environment capable of selecting a boot device
and booting to the operating system, a key feature for using the Recovery
CF.
Legacy Boot [Enabled]
When Enabled, this option will skip some tests to speed up the POST.
Load OPROM [On Demand]
Load all Option ROMs or on demand according to the boot device.
Boot Priority [UEFI First]
Select the priority of the boot option between UEFI and legacy devices.
