IBM 6645 PCI Control, Plug and Play Control Plug and Play Operating System, Processor Control

PCI Control

PCI Parity

The parameter allows you to enable or disable parity checking of data across the PCI bus. Some adapters do not generate parity and will require this option set to disable. The default is set to “Enabled”.

Plug and Play Control

Plug and Play Operating System

Select “Yes”, if you are experiencing POST errors numbered 185x and your system will be booting a Plug and Play compliant operating system.

The 185x errors are caused by the system being unable to configure all adapters and devices in the system because of conflicting resource assignments. Selecting “Yes“ allows the configuration of Plug and Play devices not required for booting to be performed by the operating system, which can better manage the resource assignments of Plug and Play adapters and devices. The default is “No“.

Processor Control

It will indicate the Intel processor ID number and microcode revision date. This information is not configurabled.

Power Management

Wake on LAN

Select “Enabled” to allow your system to power-on in response to LAN wake up requests if the network adapter in your system supports this feature. The default is set to “Disabled“

Startup Sequence

When the Wake on LAN is set to “Enabled“, Startup Sequence will become configurable. Select the start- up sequence you want to use for this type of power-on event. If you select “Automatic“, make sure that the Automatic Power-On Start-up Sequence is set to “Enabled“; otherwise the system will use the “Primary“ startup sequence.
