User Accessible
USB Ports
Enables or disables the USB ports. Selecting
Only Back Ports On

Integrated Network Card 1.
Enables or disables the Embedded NIC1 and NIC2 options. If set to
Disabled
, the NIC may still be available for
shared network access by the embedded management controller. The embedded NIC1 and NIC2 options are only
available on systems that do not have Network Daughter Cards (NDCs). The Embedded NIC1 and NIC2 option is
mutually exclusive with the Integrated Network Card 1 option. Configure the Embedded NIC1 and NIC2 option by
using the NIC management utilities of the system.
I/O Snoop Holdoff
Response
Selects the number of cycles PCI I/O can withhold snoop requests from the CPU, to allow time to complete its
own write to LLC. This setting can help improve performance on workloads where throughput and latency are
critical.
Embedded Video

Embedded Video Controller
option. This option is set to
Enabled
by default.
Current State of
Embedded Video

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 add-in graphics card is installed), then the Embedded Video Controller is automatically used as the
primary display even if the
Embedded Video Controller
setting is set to
Disabled
.
OS Watchdog
Timer
If your system stops responding, this watchdog timer aids in the recovery of your operating system. When this
option is set to
Enabled
, the operating system initializes the timer. When this option is set to
Disabled
(the
default), the timer does not have any effect on the system.
Memory Mapped
I/O above 4 GB
Enables or disables the support for PCIe devices that need large amounts of memory. This option is set to
Enabled
by default.
Slot Disablement
Enables or disables the available PCIe slots on your system. The slot disablement feature controls the
configuration of PCIe cards installed in the specified slot. Slots must be disabled only when the installed peripheral
card prevents booting into the operating system or causes delays in system startup. If the slot is disabled, both
the Option ROM and UEFI drivers are disabled.
