Specifications

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

Device Options Allows you to set:

●

Printer mode (Bi-Directional, EPP + ECP, Output Only). ECP = Enhanced Capabilities Port, EPP

= Enhanced Parallel Port. 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 Graphics (Auto/Disable/Force) Use this option to manage integrated (UMA)

graphics memory allocation. The value you choose is allocated permanently to graphics and is

unavailable to the operating system. For example, if you set this value to 512M on a system

with 2 GB of RAM, the system always allocates 512 MB for graphics and the other 1.5 GB for

use by the BIOS and operating system. Default is Auto which sets memory allocation to 512

MB.

If you select Force, the UMA Frame Buffer Size option displays, which lets you set the UMA

memory size allocation between 32 MB and 1 GB.

●

Internal Speaker (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. The default will be to have the NIC option-ROM-enabled. Default is PXE.

●

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

OS. Default is enabled.

●

Hyper threading (enable/disable). Use this option to disable processor hyper-threading.

●

Turbo Mode (enable/disable). Allows you to enable and disable the Intel Turbo Mode feature,

which allows one core of the system to run at a higher than standard frequency and power if

other cores are idle. Default is enabled.
