without resetting the system.
The USB keyboard and mouse still function in certain USB ports during the boot process, depending on the
selection. After the boot process is complete, the USB ports will be enabled or disabled as per the setting.
NOTE:
Selecting Only Back Ports On and All Ports Off disables the USB management port and also
restricts access to the iDRAC features.

Enabled
by default.

If set to Disabled (OS), the Integrated NICs might still be available for shared network access by
iDRAC.
I/OAT DMA Engine

Embedded Video
Controller
Enables or disables the use of Embedded Video Controller as the primary display. When set to
Enabled
, the
Embedded Video Controller will be the primary display even if add-in graphic cards are installed. When set to

disabled right before the operating system boots. This option is set to
Enabled
by default.
NOTE:
When there are multiple add-in graphic cards installed in the system, the first card discovered
during PCI enumeration is selected as the primary video. You might have to re-arrange the cards in the
slots in order to control which card is the primary video.
Current State of
Embedded Video
Controller
Displays the current state of the embedded video controller. The
Current State of Embedded Video Controller
option is a read-only field. If the Embedded Video Controller is the only display capability in the system (that is, no
