Owners Manual

Miscellaneous Settings details

The Miscellaneous Settings screen details are explained as follows:

Option Description

System Time Enables you to set the time on the system.

System Date Enables you to set the date on the system.

Asset Tag Specifies the asset tag and enables you to modify it for security and tracking

purposes.

Keyboard

NumLock

Enables you to set whether the system boots with the NumLock enabled or

disabled. This option is set to On by default.

NOTE: This option does not apply to 84-key keyboards.

F1/F2 Prompt on

Error

Enables or disables the F1/F2 prompt on error. This option is set to Enabled by

default. The F1/F2 prompt also includes keyboard errors.

Load Legacy

Video Option

ROM

Enables you to determine whether the system BIOS loads the legacy video (INT

10H) option ROM from the video controller. Selecting Enabled in the operating

system does not support UEFI video output standards. This field is available only for

UEFI boot mode. You cannot set the option to Enabled if UEFI Secure Boot mode

is enabled.

In-System

Characterization

Enables or disables In-System Characterization. This option is set to Disabled by

default. The two other options are Enabled and Enabled - No Reboot.

NOTE: The default setting for In-System Characterization is subject to change

in future BIOS releases.

When enabled, In-System Characterization (ISC) executes during POST upon

detecting relevant change(s) in system configuration to optimize system power and

performance. ISC takes about 20 seconds to execute, and system reset is needed

for ISC results to be applied. The Enabled - No Reboot option executes ISC and

continues without applying ISC results until the next time system reset occurs. The

Enabled option executes ISC and forces an immediate system reset so that ISC

results can be applied. It takes the system longer to be ready due to the forced

system reset. When disabled, ISC does not execute.

About Boot Manager

With Boot Manager you can add, delete, and arrange boot options. You can also access System Setup

and boot options without restarting the system.

Entering Boot Manager

The Boot Manager screen allows you to select boot options and diagnostic utilities.

1. Turn on or restart your system.

2. Press F11 when you see the message F11 = Boot Manager.

If your operating system begins to load before you press F11, allow the system to finish booting, and

then restart your system and try again.
