Chapter 7: BIOS

PCI Latency Timer

This feature sets the latency Timer of each PCI device installed on a PCI bus. Select 64 to set the PCI latency to 64 PCI clock cycles. The options are 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224 and 248.

SR-IOV Support

Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) is a speciﬁcation that allows a PCIe device to appear as multiple physical devices to the system. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

PCI-E Slot 4, 5, 6, & 7 OPROM

Use this feature to enable or disable PCI slot Option ROMs. The options are Dis- abled and Enabled.

Onboard LAN Option ROM Select

This feature selects whether to load the iSCSI or PXE onboard LAN option ROM. The options are iSCSI and PXE.

Load Onboard LAN1 Option ROM/Load Onboard LAN2 Option ROM

This feature is to enable or disable the onboard option ROMs. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

Boot Graphics Adapter Priority

Use the feature to select the graphics controller to be used as the primary boot device. The options are Offboard VGA and Onboard VGA.

Serial Port 1 / Serial Port 2

Select Enabled to enable the onboard serial port. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Serial Port1 Settings/ Serial Port2 Settings

This option speciﬁes the base I/O port address and the Interrupt Request address of Serial Port 1 and Serial Port 2. Select Disabled to prevent the serial port from accessing any system resources. When this option is set to Disabled, the serial port physically becomes unavailable. Select 3F8/IRQ4 to allow the serial port to use 3F8 as its I/O port address and IRQ 4 for the interrupt address. The options for Serial Port1 are Disabled, 3F8/IRQ4, 3E8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3 and 2E8/IRQ3. The options for Serial Port2 are Disabled, 3F8/IRQ4, 3E8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3, and 2E8/IRQ3.
