2. Onboard Video

Option Values: Enabled

Disabled

Help Text:

On-board video controller.

Warning: System video is completely disabled if this option is disabled and an

add-in video adapter is not installed.

Comments: When disabled, the system requires an add-in video card for the

video to be seen. When there is no add-in video card installed, Onboard Video is set to

Enabled and grayed out so it cannot be changed.

If there is an add-in video card installed in a PCIe slot connected to CPU Socket 1, and

the Legacy VGA Socket option is set to CPU Socket 1, then this Onboard Video option

is available to be set and default as Disabled.

If there is an add-in video card installed on a PCIe slot connected to CPU Socket 2, and

the Legacy VGA Socket option is set to CPU Socket 2, this option is grayed out and

unavailable, with a value set to Disabled. This is because the Onboard Video is

connected to CPU Socket 1, and is not functional when CPU Socket 2 is the active path

for video. When Legacy VGA Socket is set back to CPU Socket 1, this option becomes

available again and is set to its default value of Enabled.

Note: This option does not appear on some models.

3. Legacy VGA Socket

Option Values: CPU Socket 1

CPU Socket 2

Help Text:

Determines whether Legacy VGA video output is enabled for PCIe slots attached

to Processor Socket 1 or 2. Socket 1 is the default.

Comments: This option is necessary when using an add-in video card on a PCIe slot

attached to CPU Socket 2, due to a limitation of the processor IIO. The Legacy video

device can be connected through either socket but there is a setting that must be set

on only one of the two. This option allows the switch to using a video card in a slot

connected to CPU Socket 2.

This option does not appear unless the BIOS is running on a board which has one

processor installed on CPU Socket 2 and can potentially have a video card installed in

a PCIe slot connected to CPU Socket 2.
