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

Lists the processor type, processor bus speed, processor ID, clock speed, L2

 

cache, and additional features supported by your processor.

 

 

Memory Info

Indicates the type and amount of installed memory, memory speed and

 

channel mode (dual or single).

 

 

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 (by pressing <U>) so that 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. The options restrict identification of drives to USB only,

 

Internal only, or none (Off). The Read Only option restricts the ability to

 

boot from any floppy device.

 

 

SATA 0 through 5

Identifies the drives attached to the SATA connectors on the system board,

 

and lists the capacity for hard drives.

 

 

SATA Operation

Identifies and defines the SATA controller settings for RAID. You can set the

 

SATA controller to RAID Autodetect/ATA or RAID On.

 

 

Onboard Devices

 

 

 

Integrated NIC

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.
