Initial Display Output

Specifies the first initiation of the monitor display from the installed PCI graphics card, PCI Express graphics

card, or the onboard graphics.

IGFX

Sets the onboard graphics as the first display.

PCIe 1 Slot

Sets the graphics card on the PCIEX16 slot as the first display. (Default)

PCI

Sets the graphics card on the PCI slot as the first display.

xHCI Mode

Allows you to determine the operating mode for the xHCI controller in OS.

Smart Auto

This mode is available only when the BIOS supports the xHCI controller in the pre-boot

environment. This mode is similar to

Auto

, but it adds the capability to route the ports

to xHCI or EHCI according to setting used in previous boots (for non-G3 boot) in the

pre-boot environment. This allows the use of USB 3.0 devices prior to OS boot. xHCI

controller enabling and rerouting should follow the steps in

Auto

, when previous boot

routs ports to EHCI. Note: This is the recommended mode when BIOS has xHCI pre-

boot support. (Default)

Auto

BIOS routes the sharable ports to EHCI controller. Then it uses ACPI protocols to

provide an option to enable the xHCI controller and reroute the sharable ports. Note:

This is the recommended mode when BIOS does NOT have xHCI pre-boot support.

Enabled

All shared ports are eventually routed to the xHCI controller during the BIOS boot process.

If BIOS does not have pre-boot support for the xHCI controller, it should initially route

the sharable ports to the EHCI controller and then prior to OS boot it should route the

ports to xHCI controller. Note: OS has to provide support for the xHCI controller in this

mode. If the OS does not provide support, all sharable ports won't work.

Disabled

The USB 3.0 ports are routed to the EHCI controller and the xHCI controller is turned

off. All USB 3.0 devices function as High Speed devices regardless of xHCI software

support/availability.

Manual

Allows you to determine whether to rout the USB 3.0 ports to the xHCI or EHCI controller

before booting to OS, and also provides you with options to manually rout each USB

3.0/2.0 port to xHCI or EHCI.
