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

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.

 

 

Drives 0

Identifies the drives attached to the PRI IDE connectors on the system

through 3

board, and lists the capacity for hard drives.

 

 

Onboard Devices

 

 

 

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 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.

 

 

Audio Controller

Enables or disables the onboard audio controller

 

 

USB

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.

 

 

Mouse Port

Enables or disables the onboard PS/2-compatible mouse controller.
