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

Bus Options

On some models, allows you to enable or disable:

 

●

PCI SERR# generation.

 

● 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.

 

 

Device Options

Allows you to set:

 

● Printer mode (Bi-Directional, EPP + ECP, Output Only).

 

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

 

● S5 Wake on LAN (enable/disable).

 

 

● To disable Wake on LAN during the off state (S5), use the arrow (left and right) keys to

 

 

set the S5 Wake on LAN feature to Disable. This obtains the lowest power consumption

 

 

available on the computer during S5. It does not affect the ability of the computer to Wake

 

 

on LAN from suspend or hibernation, but will prevent it from waking from S5 via the

 

 

network. It does not affect operation of the network connection while the computer is on.

 

 

● If a network connection is not required, completely disable the network controller (NIC) by

 

 

using the arrow (left and right) keys to select the Security > Device Security menu. Set

 

 

the Network Controller option to Device Hidden. This prevents the network controller

 

 

from being used by the operating system and reduces the power used by the computer

 

 

in S5.

 

●

Processor cache (enable/disable).

 

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

 

 

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

● Internal speaker (some models) (enable/disable) (does not affect external speakers) ● Monitor Tracking (enable/disable). Allows BIOS to save monitor asset information.

● 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.
