Table 3-5 Computer Setup—Advanced (continued)
Device Options | Allows you to set: |
| ● Turbo Mode (enable/disable). Allows you to enable and disable the Intel Turbo Mode feature, |
| which allows one core of the system to run at a higher than standard frequency and power if |
| other cores are idle. Default is enabled. |
| ● Num Lock State at |
| ● LVDS Panel Select. |
| ● Internal Speaker (some models) (does not affect external speakers). Default is enabled. |
| ● NIC 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 1 MB 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. Default |
| ● |
| the OS. Default is enabled. |
|
|
AMT Configuration | Allows you to set: |
| ● AMT (enable/disable). Allows you to enable or disable functions of the embedded |
| Management Engine (ME) such as Active Management Technology (AMT). If set to disable, |
| the Management Engine is set to a temporarily disabled state and will not provide functions |
| beyond necessary system configuration. Default is enabled. |
| ● Unconfigure AMT/ME (enable/disable). Allows you to unconfigure any provisioned |
| management settings for AMT. The AMT settings are restored to factory defaults. This |
| feature should be used with caution as AMT will not be able to provide any set AMT |
| management functions once unconfigured. Default is disabled. |
| ● 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. |
