Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Advanced*

Device options

Allows you to set:

 

(continued)

 

Printer mode (bi-directional, EPP+ECP, output only).

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

S5 Wake on LAN (enable/disable).

 

 

 

Processor cache (enable/disable).

 

 

 

Hyper-Threading* (enable/disable).

 

 

 

ACPI S3* support (enable/disable). S3 is an ACPI sleep state

 

 

 

that some add-in hardware options may not support.

 

 

 

If the ACPI S3 support option is not presented, the other ACPI

 

 

 

S3 options (ACPI S3 Video REPOST, AXPI S3 Hard Disk

 

 

 

Reset, and ACPI S3 PS2 Mouse Wakeup) will not be

 

 

 

available.

 

 

 

ACPI S3 Video REPOST* (enable/disable). This feature reruns

 

 

 

the video option ROM on a boot from the S3 state.

 

 

 

ACPI S3 Hard Disk Reset* (enable/disable). Resets the hard

 

 

 

disk on a boot from the S3 sleep state.

 

 

 

ACPI S3 PS2 Mouse Wakeup* (enable/disable). Allows the

 

 

 

mouse to wake the system from the S3 sleep state.

 

 

 

Unique Sleep State Blink Patterns*. Allows you to choose an

 

 

 

LED blink pattern that uniquely identifies each sleep state.

 

 

 

Frame Buffer Size* Allows you to specify amount of system

 

 

 

memory dedicated to the embedded graphics frame buffer. The

 

 

 

AUTO setting attempts to optimize the frame buffer size

 

 

 

depending on the amount of total system memory.

 

 

 

Monitor Tracking (enable/disable). Allows ROM to save

 

 

 

monitor asset information.

 

 

 

Spread Spectrum* (enable/disable) allows system clocks to run

 

 

 

with a spread spectrum.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PCI VGA

Displayed only if there are multiple PCI video adapters in the

 

 

Configuration

system. Allows you to specify which VGA controller will be the

 

 

 

“boot” or primary VGA controller.

* Available on select models.

**These options should be used by advanced users only.
