(continued)

After power loss, if you connect your

 

 

computer to an electric power strip and

 

 

would like to turn on power to the

 

 

computer using the switch on the power

 

 

strip, set this option to “on.”

 

 

If you turn off power to your computer

 

 

using the switch on a power strip, you will

 

 

not be able to use the suspend/sleep

 

 

feature or the Remote Management

 

 

features.

 

 

• I/O APIC Mode (enable/disable). Enabling

 

 

this feature will allow Microsoft Windows

 

 

Operating Systems to run optimally. This

 

 

feature must be disabled for certain

 

 

non-Microsoft Operating Systems to work

 

 

properly.

 

 

• USB Buffer @ Top of Memory

 

 

(enable/disable) Enabling this feature

 

 

places USB memory buffers at the top

 

 

of memory. The advantage is that

 

 

some amount of memory below 1MB is

 

 

freed up for use by option ROMs. The

 

 

disadvantage is that a popular memory

 

 

manager, HIMEM.SYS, does not work

 

 

properly when USB buffers are at top of

 

 

memory AND the system has 64MB or

 

 

less of RAM.

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

* These options should be used by advanced users only.
