Miscellaneous Settings screen

You can use the Miscellaneous Settings screen to perform specific functions such as updating the asset tag, and changing the system date and time.

You can view the Miscellaneous Settings screen by clicking System Setup Main Menu → System BIOS → Miscellaneous Settings.

Menu Item	Description
System Time	Enables you to set the time on the system.
System Date	Enables you to set the date on the system.
Asset Tag	Displays the asset tag and enables you to modify it
	for security and tracking purposes.
Keyboard NumLock	Enables you to set whether the system boots with
	the NumLock enabled or disabled. By default the
	Keyboard NumLock is set to On.
	NOTE: This option does not apply to 84-key
	keyboards.
F1/F2 Prompt on Error	Enables or disables the F1/F2 prompt on error. By
	default, F1/F2 Prompt on Error is set to Enabled.
	The F1/F2 prompt also includes keyboard errors.
Load Legacy Video Option ROM	Enables you to determine whether the system
	BIOS loads the legacy video (INT 10H) option ROM
	from the video controller. Selecting Enabled in the
	operating system does not support UEFI video
	output standards. This field is only for UEFI boot
	mode. You cannot set this to Enabled if UEFI
	Secure Boot mode is enabled.
In-System Characterization	This option enables or disables In-System
	Characterization. By default, In-System
	Characterization is set to Disabled. The two other
	options are Enabled and Enabled - No Reboot.
	NOTE: The default setting for In-System
	Characterization is subject to change in
	future BIOS releases.
	When enabled, In-System Characterization (ISC)
	executes during POST upon detecting relevant
	change(s) in system configuration to optimize
	system power and performance. ISC takes about
	20 seconds to execute, and system reset is
	required for ISC results to be applied. The Enabled
	- No Reboot option executes ISC and continues
	without applying ISC results until the next time
	system reset occurs. The Enabled option executes
	ISC and forces an immediate system reset so that
	ISC results can be applied. It takes the system
	longer to be ready due to the forced system reset.
	When disabled, ISC does not execute.
