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

Option

Description

 

 

 

the BIOS to choose the optimal size. Available sizes may be limited by the installed system

 

memory.

 

● Integrated Video (enable/disable). Allows you to use integrated video and PCI Up Solution

 

video at the same time (available on some models only).

 

NOTE: 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.

 

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

 

● NIC PXE Option ROM Download (enable/disable). The BIOS contains an embedded NIC option

 

ROM to allow the unit to boot through the network to a PXE server. This is typically used to

 

download a corporate image to a hard drive. The NIC option ROM takes up memory space

 

below 1MB commonly referred to as DOS Compatibility Hole (DCH) space. This space is

 

limited. This F10 option will allow users to disable the downloading of this embedded NIC option

 

ROM thus giving more DCH space for additional PCI cards which may need option ROM space.

 

The default will be to have the NIC option-ROM-enabled.

 

● SATA RAID Option ROM Download (enable/disable). The BIOS contains an embedded SATA

 

RAID option ROM to for RAID support. This can be temporarily disabled to save DCH space.

 

Note that with the option ROM disabled, users will be unable to use boot to hard drives in the

 

system while running in RAID mode.

 

● HPET (enable/disable). The HPET (high precision event timer) can be disabled in the event

 

that it causes a resource conflict in the OS.

 

● PCIe x16 Slot. This option allows using the x16 PCIe slot in an 8-lane mode with the DispalyPort

 

connector on the motherboard or in a full 16-lane mode without DisplayPort.

 

 

Management

Allows you to set:

Operations

● DASH Support (enable/disable). Allows the DASH firmware to be Enabled/Disabled.

 

 

● SOL Character Echo (enable/disable). Some remote consoles print remotely-entered

 

characters which can cause the characters to appear twice (once when entered remotely and

 

once when echoed back from local client video). This option allows the administrator to have

 

the SOL terminal emulator suppress echoing remotely-entered characters to the local video

 

display.

 

● SOL Terminal Emulation Mode (enable/disable). Selects between VT100 and ANSI SOL

 

terminal emulation. SOL terminal emulation mode is only activated during remote AMT

 

redirection operations. The emulation options allow administrators to select which mode works

 

best with their console.

 

● SOL Keyboard (enable/disable). Disable or enable client keyboard during SOL sessions. Some

 

remote remediation may involve having the local client boot a remote image provided by an

 

administrator. This option determines if the BIOS will keep the local keyboard enabled or

 

disabled for possible local client interaction. If the local keyboard is disabled, all keyboard input

 

is only accepted from the remote source.

 

 

Recovering the Configuration Settings

This method of recovery requires that you first perform the Save to Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility before Restore is needed. (See Save to Removable Media

on page 3 in the Computer Setup—File table.)

NOTE: It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a a USB flash media device or a diskette-like device (a storage device set to emulate a diskette drive) and save the device for possible future use.
