Table 6-5Computer Setup—Advanced (for advanced users) (continued)

Select the Legacy device's IRQ, DMA, and I/O Range. The settings may not take effect for all operating systems. To hide a device from the operating system, see Security > Device Security.

Bus Options

Allows you to enable or disable:

 

PCI SERR# Generation. Default is enabled.

 

PCI VGA Palette Snooping, which sets the VGA palette snooping bit in PCI configuration space; only

 

 

needed when more than one graphics controller is installed. Default is disabled.

 

 

Device Options

Allows you to set:

 

Monitor Tracking (enable/disable). Allows BIOS to save monitor asset information. Default is

 

 

disabled.

 

CPU Performance Boost (enable/disable/auto). If the system is using less than the maximum

 

 

number of cores within the processor, this feature enables or disables the redistribution of power to

 

 

fewer cores and raises the clock frequency on those cores. Default is Auto.

 

Num Lock State at Power-On (off/on). Default is off.

 

Integrated Video (enable/disable). Use this option to disable the integrated video controller when

 

 

another video controller is present in the system, or to configure UMA memory settings. Default is

 

 

‘Automatic UMA Size’.

 

 

If you select ‘Selectable UMA Size’, a new menu item appears in the Device Options dialog box to

 

 

allow you to select the amount of memory to allocate to video memory.

 

USB Charging Port. Use this option to enable the USB charging port. Default is disabled.

 

 

PCI VGA Configuration

Displayed only if there is an add-in video card in the system. Allows you to specify which VGA controller

 

will be the “boot” or primary VGA controller.

 

 

Management Operations

Allows you to set:

 

DASH Support (enable/disable). Allows you to enable or disable the DASH firmware. Default is

 

 

disabled. If you enable this setting, DASH Console Redirection, ASF BIOS Mode, and ASF Watchdog

 

 

Timer become active.

 

DASH Console Redirection (enable/disable). When enabled, allows you to change keyboard standard

 

 

using the DASH Terminal Type option.

 

DASH Terminal Type (VT-UTF8, ANSI, VT100, VT100+). Allows you to configure keyboard standard.

 

ASF BIOS Mode (OFF/ON/alert only). Allows you to set xxxxx.

 

ASF Watchdog Timer (enable/disable). Allows you to set amount of time for a operating system and

 

 

BIOS watchdog alert to be sent if the timers are not deactivated. BIOS watchdog is deactivated by

 

 

BIOS and would indicate that a halt occurred during execution if the alert is sent to the management

 

 

console. An operating system alert is deactivated by the operating system image and would indicate

 

 

that a hang occurred during its initialization. Default is enabled.

 

 

Option ROM Launch

Let you set the launch policy for option ROMs. An Option ROM typically consists of firmware that is called

Policy

by the system BIOS. For example, an adapter card that controls a boot device might contain firmware that

 

is used to connect the device to the system once the Option ROM is loaded.

 

PXE Option ROMs (legacy only/EFI only/do not launch)

 

Storage Option ROMs (legacy only/EFI only/do not launch)

 

Video Option ROMs (legacy only/EFI only)

 

 

Connected BIOS

Enables or disables the feature that updates the BIOS using the network.

 

Connected BIOS (Enabled/Disabled). Enables or disables BIOS network support. Default is enabled.
