To disable Wake on LAN during the off state (S5), use the arrow

 

 

 

(left and right) keys to select the Advanced > Device Options

 

 

 

menu and 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).

• Unique Sleep State Blink Patterns. Allows you to choose an LED blink pattern that uniquely identifies each sleep state.

• Integrated Video (enable/disable) Allows you to use integrated video and PCI Up Solution video at the same time (available on select models only).

Inserting a PCI or PCI Express video card automatically disables Integrated Video. When PCI Express video is on, Integrated Video must remain disabled.

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

Allows you to set:

• 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.

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