System

System Info	Lists system information such as the computer name, the BIOS version
	number and date, system tags, and other system-specific information.
	NOTE: The system name listed in the BIOS may not appear exactly as the
	name that appears on the computer or in the computer’s documentation.
CPU Info	Identifies whether the computer’s processor supports Hyper-Threading and
	lists the processor bus speed, processor ID, clock speed, and L2 cache.
Memory Info	Indicates amount of installed memory, memory speed, channel mode (dual
	or single), and type of memory installed.
Date/Time	Displays current date and time settings.
Boot Sequence	The computer attempts to boot from the sequence of devices specified in
	this list.
	NOTE: If you insert a boot device and restart the computer, this option appears
	in the system setup menu. To boot from a USB memory device, select the USB
	device and move it so it becomes the first device in the list.
Drives
Diskette Drive	Identifies and defines the floppy drive attached to the FLOPPY connector
	on the system board as Off, USB, Internal, or Read Only.

1	board, and lists the capacity for hard drives.
SATA Operation	Identifies and defines the SATA modes. You can set the SATA controller to

	combination causes a menu to display that allows you to select a method for
	booting from a network server. If a boot routine is not available from the
	network server, the computer attempts to boot from the next device in the
	boot sequence list.
