Description
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 changes 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.
