Bus Options

On some models, 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:

 

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. Default is enabled.

 

NIC Option ROM Download (PXE, iSCSI, disabled). 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. Default is PXE.
