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

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

NOTE: After Integrated Video is enabled and changes saved, a new menu item appears under Advanced to allow you to select the primary VGA controller video device.

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

Multi-Processor (enable/disable). This option may be used to disable multi-processor support under the OS.

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.

 

 

Management Devices

The Management Devices menu will only be displayed in the Advanced menu when the BIOS detects

 

multiple management options.

 

This option is for installed NIC cards that support ASF or DASH. Use the Management Devices menu

 

to select if the BIOS management operations will be through the embedded solution or one of the

 

installed NIC cards.

 

 

Management

Allows you to set:

Operations

MEBx Setup Prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature displays the CTRL+P prompt

 

 

during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the prompt from being displayed. However,

 

pressing Ctrl+P still accesses the utility used to configure manageability settings.

 

The CTRL+P function activates the MEBx Setup menu. If the Setup Password is configured,

 

the user will be prompted to correctly enter it before being allowed to enter the MEBx Setup. It

 

the password is entered incorrectly three times, the MEBx Setup will not be activated.

 

Remote Help Prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature displays the CTRL+ALT+F1

 

prompt during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the prompt from being displayed.

 

However, pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 still accesses the utility used to attempt to connect to remote

 

help server or services.

 

Remote Help Lockout (enable/disable). Allows the user/administrator to lock out access to

 

Remote Help. If enabled, the Ctrl+Alt+F1 key sequence will not be acknowledged by the BIOS.

 

Remote Help Connection Timeout (5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 120, 180, 240 seconds). Allows

 

the user/administrator is set a time limit for Remote Help to establish contact with a remote

 

server when initiated.

 

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 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
