Table 3-6Computer Setup—Advanced (for advanced users) (continued)

Bus Options

On some models, allows you to enable or disable:

 

● PCI SERR# Generation. Default is enabled.

 

● 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. Default is disabled.

 

 

Device Options

Allows you to set:

 

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

 

disabled.

 

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

 

● Num Lock State at Power-On (off/on). Default is off.

 

● Integrated Video (enable/disable). Use this option to disable the integrated video controller

 

when another video controller is present in the system. Default is enabled.

 

● Integrated Video (Automatic UMA/Selectable UMA Size). Allows you to automatically or

 

manually set UMA video size. Default is automatic.

 

NOTE: If you choose Selectable UMA Size, a new menu item displays to allow you to

 

select the UMA Frame Buffer Size. Default value is 256 MB.

 

● Internal Speaker (some models) (does not affect external speakers). Default is enabled.

 

● NIC PXE Option ROM Download (PXE, iSCSI, disabled). 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. Default is enabled.

 

● NetClone Option ROM Download (enable/disable) (some models). This BIOS contains an

 

embedded NetClone option. Use this option to enable or disable the NetClone BIOS. Default

 

is disabled.

 

● SATA RAID Option ROM Download (enable/disable). The BIOS contains an embedded

 

SATA RAID option ROM for RAID support. This can be temporarily disabled to save DCH

 

space. Note that with the option ROM disabled, users will be unable to boot to hard drives in

 

the system while running in RAID mode. Default is disabled.

 

● Multi-Processor (enable/disable). Use this option to disable multi-processor support under

 

the OS. Default is enabled.
