Option Function
BIOS Version Displays the version of the BIOS being used.
Processor Type Displays the type of microprocessor installed.
Processor Speed Displays the internal speed of the microprocessor.
Processor Serial Number Displays the serial number of the microprocessor when set to Enabled . Disabled (default) turns off the feature. This
option does not appear in the menu if the microprocessor does not support the feature.
Cache RAM Indicates the amount of L2 cache memory installed.
NOTE: Depending on your system configuration, the processor may be installed with 256 KB or 512 KB cache
memory installed.
Service Tag Displays the system's service tag.
System Memory Displays the amount of system memory installed, ranging from 64 to 768 MB, in the 3 DIMM sockets on the system
board.
Memory Bank n
Displays the size and type of memory in the DIMM sockets. If ECC DIMMs are installed in all of the banks, an option
appears that allows you to enable or disable the ECC functionality. If the option is not present, then some or all of the
installed memory is non-ECC.
ECC Configuration Appears on the screen only if the system detects an all-ECC memory configuration. Leave this option set to ECC
(default) for optimum performance. To disable ECC, select Non-ECC .
L2 Cache ECC Support When Auto (default) is selected, the system first checks the type of installed DIMMs. Then if all of the DIMMs are
detected as ECC, error checking is automatically allowed to occur on data accessed from the L2 cache. If one or
more non-ECC DIMMs are detected, error checking is not performed. When
Enabled , this option allows error
checking to occur on data accessed from the L2 cache without checking the type of installed DIMMs. If set to
Disabled , error checking is not performed.
NOTICE: Be sure that Auto or Enabled is selected before running mathematical application programs.
Otherwise, error checking will not be performed on the cache data.
System Time Resets the time on the system's internal clock.
System Date Resets the time on the system's internal calendar.
