Comments: This option must be enabled to use an add-in card as a secondary POST Legacy
Video device while also displaying on the Onboard Video device.
If there is no add-in video card in any PCIe slot connected to CPU Socket 1, this options is set to
Disabled and grayed out and unavailable.
If the Legacy VGA Socket option is set to CPU Socket 2, this option is grayed out and unavailable, with

12.2.2.7 NIC Configuration
The NIC Configuration screen allows the user to configure the NIC controller options for BIOS POST. It also
displays the NIC MAC Addresses currently in use. This NIC Configuration screen handles network controllers
built in on the baseboard (“onboard”) or installed as an IO Module (IOM). It does not configure or report
anything having to do with add-in network adapter cards.
To access this screen from the Main screen, select Advanced > PCI Configuration > NIC Configuration. To
move to another screen, press the <Esc> key to return to the PCI Configuration screen, if necessary press
the <Esc> key again to return to the Advanced screen, then select the desired screen.
There is usually one Onboard NIC built into the baseboard, although in some cases there are two Onboard
NICs. There are several possible types of NICs which are incorporated into different boards. When an
Infiniband* controller is on the baseboard, it appears as an Onboard NIC.
Most boards in this family also can have an IO Module that installs on the board in a specialized connector.
There are boards which can have two IO Modules installed.
The descriptive names of the Onboard NIC types are:
