System Setup Options

NOTE: Depending on your computer and installed devices, the items listed in this section may not appear, or may not appear exactly as listed.

System

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.
Drives 0 through 3	Identifies the drives attached to the SATA connectors
	on the system board, and lists the capacity for hard
	drives.
SATA Operation	Hard-drive controller feature that provides two
	configuration settings:
	Normal – native mode, which provides the highest
	drive performance and optimal flexibility.
	Combination – combination mode, which offers
	compatibility with versions of the operating system
	that do not support SATA drives.
Onboard Devices
Integrated NIC Controller	You can set the NIC to On (default), Off, or On w/
	PXE. When the On w/ PXE setting is active
	(available only for the future boot process), the
	computer prompts you to press <Ctrl><Alt><b>.
	Pressing this key 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.
Integrated Audio Controller	Enables or disables the onboard audio controller.
USB Controller	Set to On (default) so that USB devices will be
	detected and supported in the operating system.
USB for FlexBay	This field enables and disables the internal USB for
	FlexBay.
	Off = Internal USB for FlexBay is disabled.
	On = Internal USB for FlexBay is disabled.
	The factory default setting is On.
	NOTE: This USB option appears only if a FlexBay
	device is installed.

	can set the parallel port to Off, AT, PS/2, EPP, or
	ECP.
LPT Port Address	Identifies the address for the parallel port.

	You can set the parallel port DMA to Off, DMA1, or
	DMA3.

	the default setting, automatically configures a
	connector to a particular designation (COM1 or
	COM3).
Serial Port #2 (optional)	Identifies and defines the serial port settings. Auto,
	the default setting, automatically configures a
	connector to a particular designation (COM2 or

	mouse controller.
