Integrated Devices

Sound	Enables or disables the onboard audio controller
Network Interface	You can set the NIC to On (default), Off, or On w/ PXE. When the On
Controller	w/ PXE setting is active (available only for the future boot process), the
	computer prompts the user 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.
Mouse Port	Enables or disables the onboard PS/2-compatible mouse controller.
USB Emulation	Set to On (default) so that USB devices will be detected and supported in
	the operating system.
	The No Boot option restricts external access to drive data. Use this option
	to prohibit users from booting the computer using an external USB device.
USB Controller	Set to On (default) so that multiple USB devices can be connected to a
	system without compromising data speed. When set to Off, all connected
	ports share a set data speed that is equivalent to one port.
Serial Port #1	Identifies and defines the serial port settings. Auto, the default setting,
	automatically configures a connector to a particular designation (COM1 or
	COM3).
Parallel Port	Identifies and defines the parallel port settings. You can set the parallel port
Mode	to Off, AT, PS/2, EPP, or ECP.

Buffer	controller.

Power Management

	power mode, and S3, a standby state where the power is reduced or turned
	off for most components, however, system memory remains active.
AC Power Recovery	Determines what happens when AC power is restored to the computer.
Low Power Mode	When Low Power Mode is selected, remote wakeup events no longer power
	up from Hibernate or Off.
