• PCI VGA palette snooping, which sets the VGA palette

 

advanced

 

 

 

snooping bit in PCI configuration space; only needed when

 

users only

 

 

 

more than one graphics controller is installed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Device Options

Allows you to set:

 

 

 

 

• Printer mode (Bi-Directional, EPP & ECP, Output Only).

 

 

 

Num Lock state at power-on (off/on).

 

 

 

• S5 Wake on LAN (enable/disable).

 

 

 

To disable Wake on LAN during the off state (S5), use the arrow

 

 

 

 

(left and right) keys to select the Advanced > Device Options

 

 

 

 

menu and set the S5 Wake on LAN feature to “Disable.” This

 

 

 

 

obtains the lowest power consumption available on the computer

 

 

 

 

during S5. It does not affect the ability of the computer to Wake on

 

 

 

 

LAN from suspend or hibernation, but will prevent it from waking

 

 

 

 

from S5 via the network. It does not affect operation of the network

 

 

 

 

connection while the computer is on.

 

 

 

If a network connection is not required, completely disable the

 

 

 

 

network controller (NIC) by using the arrow (left and right) keys to

 

 

 

 

select the Security > Device Security menu. Set the Network

Controller option to “Device Hidden.” This prevents the network controller from being used by the operating system and reduces the power used by the computer in S5.

• Processor cache (enable/disable).

• Unique Sleep State Blink Patterns. Allows you to choose an LED blink pattern that uniquely identifies each sleep state.

•3 blinks followed by 2-sec. pause = S3 •4 blinks followed by 2-sec. pause = S4

• Integrated Video (enable/disable) Allows you to use integrated video and PCI Up Solution video at the same time (available on some models only).

After Integrated Video is enabled and changes saved, a new menu item appears under Advanced to allow you to select the primary VGA controller video device.

Inserting a PCI or PCI Express video card automatically disables Integrated Video. When PCI Express video is on, Integrated Video must remain disabled.

Internal speaker (some models) (enable/disable) (does not affect external speakers)

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

Support for specific Computer Setup options may vary depending on the hardware configuration.
