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	Displays the System name, BIOS Version number, Service Tag, Express Service Code, and Asset Tag.
	Displays the following information for the processor installed in the system: Processor Type, Processor Clock Speed, Processor Bus
Processor Info	Speed, Processor Cache Size, Processor ID number, whether the processor is Hyperthreading or Multiple Core Capable, and if the
	processor has 64-bit Technology.
	Displays the amount of Installed Memory, Memory Speed, Memory Channel Mode, and a description of the Memory Technology. This
Memory Info	option also displays a table that describes the memory size, whether the memory module is ECC capable, single or dual rank, type, and
	organization.
PCI Info	Displays the contents of each PCI slot.
Date/Time	Controls the system's internal calendar and clock.
	Determines the order in which the system searches for boot devices during system startup.
Boot Sequence
	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
	Enables and disables the floppy drives and sets read permission for the internal floppy drive. Off disables all floppy drives. USB enables
	the USB floppy drive. Internal (the default setting) enables the internal floppy drive. Read Only enables the internal drive controller and
	allows the internal floppy drive read-only permission.
Diskette Drive
	NOTE: Operating systems with USB support will recognize USB floppy drives regardless of this setting.
SATA Drives 0	Enables or disables a SATA device (such as a hard-drive). On (the default setting) enables the interface so that the device can be used.
through 3
	Displays the Controller type (SATA), Port number the drive is using, Drive ID number, Capacity, Link Speed, and whether the drive is
	controlled by the BIOS.
PATA Drives 0	Enables or disables an ATA device (such as a CD or DVD drive). On (the default setting) enables the interface so that the device can be
	used.
through 1
	Displays the Controller type (ATA), Port number the drive is using, Drive ID number, Capacity, Link Speed, and whether the drive is
	controlled by the BIOS.
	Determines the integrated SATA controller's operating mode:
SATA Operation	RAID Autodetect/ AHCI (the default setting) – RAID if the drives are signed, otherwise AHCI
	RAID Autodetect/ ATA – RAID if the drives are signed, otherwise ATA
	RAID On – SATA is configured for RAID on every boot.
	Combination – combination mode, which offers compatibility with versions of the operating system that do not support SATA drives.
Onboard Devices
	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
Integrated NIC	process), the computer prompts you to press <Ctrl><Alt><b>. Pressing this key combination causes a menu to display that allows you
Controller	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	Enables or disables the onboard audio controller.
Controller
USB Controller	Set to On (default) so that USB devices will be detected and supported in the operating system.
	This field enables and disables the internal USB for FlexBay.
	Off = Internal USB for FlexBay is disabled.
	On = Internal USB for FlexBay is enabled.
USB for FlexBay	No Boot = Internal USB for FlexBay is enabled but not bootable.
	The factory default setting is No Boot.
	NOTE: This USB option appears only if a FlexBay device is installed.
Video
	This setting specifies which video controller is primary, PCI or PEG.
Primary Video
	NOTE: This only applies to a PCI video controller installed in the 32-bit, 33 MHz, PCI expansion slot. Settings are reversed if a PCI video
	controller is installed in a 64-bit PCIx expansion slot.
Performance
Multiple CPU Core	This setting specifies whether more than one core is enabled. The performance of some applications may improve with an additional
	core enabled. The default is On (second core enabled).
SpeedStep	If applicable, Intel SpeedStep® appears in the Options List under Performance.
HyperThreading	If your computer processor supports Hyper-Threading, this option appears in the Options List (defaults to On).
	• Bypass (default) — Your computer does not test or change the current acoustics mode setting.
	• Quiet — The hard drive operates at its most quiet setting.
	• Suggested — The hard drive operates at the level suggested by the drive manufacturer.
	• Performance — The hard drive operates at its maximum speed.
