users only

 

 

 

 

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.

•1 blink followed by 2-sec. pause = S1 •2 blinks followed by 2-sec. pause = S2 •3 blinks followed by 2-sec. pause = S3

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

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.
