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

● Internal speaker (some models) (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.

 

 

AMT Options

Allows you to set:

 

● SOL Character Echo (enable/disable). Some remote consoles print remotely-entered

 

characters which can cause the characters to appear twice (once when entered remotely and

 

once when echoed back from local client video). This option allows the administrator to have

 

the SOL terminal emulator suppress echoing remotely-entered characters to the local video

 

display.

 

● SOL Terminal Emulation Mode (enable/disable). Selects between VT100 and ANSI SOL

 

terminal emulation. SOL terminal emulation mode is only activated during remote AMT

 

redirection operations. The emulation options allow administrators to select which mode works

 

best with their console.

 

● SOL Local Keyboard (enable/disable). Disable or enable client keyboard during SOL sessions.

 

Some remote remediation may involve having the local client boot a remote image provided by

 

an administrator. This option determines if the BIOS will keep the local keyboard enabled or

 

disabled for possible local client interaction. If the local keyboard is disabled, all keyboard input

 

is only accepted from the remote source.

 

● AMT Force Unprovision (enable/disable). Forces AMT configuration back to factory defaults.

 

This feature allows AMT to be unprovisioned locally without having to enter the MEBx utility or

 

clear CMOS. Only the AMT configuration options are returned to factory defaults. Any MEBx

 

changes to the ME configuration or non-AMT options are unchanged.

 

 

Recovering the Configuration Settings

This method of recovery requires that you first perform the Save to Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility before Restore is needed. (See Save to Removable Media

on page 3 in the Computer Setup—File table.)

NOTE: It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a diskette, a USB flash media device, or a diskette-like device (a storage device set to emulate a diskette drive) and save the diskette or device for possible future use.

To restore the configuration, insert the diskette, USB flash media device, or other storage media emulating a diskette with the saved configuration and perform the Restore from Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. (See Restore from Removable Media on page 3 in the Computer Setup—File table.)
