VGA Configuration
Displayed only if there is an add-in video card in the system. Allows you to specify which VGA
controller will be the “boot” or primary VGA controller.
AMT Configuration
Allows you to set:
●
AMT (enable/disable). Allows you to enable or disable functions of the embedded
Management Engine (ME) such as Active Management Technology (AMT). If set to disable,
the Management Engine is set to a temporarily disabled state and will not provide functions
beyond necessary system configuration. Default is enabled.
●
Unconfigure AMT/ME (enable/disable). Allows you to unconfigure any provisioned
management settings for AMT. The AMT settings are restored to factory defaults. This
feature should be used with caution as AMT will not be able to provide any set AMT
management functions once unconfigured. Default is disabled.
●
Hide Unconfigure ME Confirmation Prompt (enable/disable). Allows you to set the system to
not display the confirmation to unconfigure ME.
●
Watchdog Timer (enable/disable). Allows you to set amount of time for a operating system
and BIOS watchdog alert to be sent if the timers are not deactivated. BIOS watchdog is
deactivated by BIOS and would indicate that a halt occurred during execution if the alert is
sent to the management console. An operating system alert is deactivated by the operating
system image and would indicate that a hang occurred during its initialization. Default is
enabled.
Recovering the Configuration Settings
This method of recovery requires that you first perform the
Save to Removable Media
command
with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility before
Restore
is needed. (See
Computer Setup—File
on page 9
in the Computer Setup—File table.)
NOTE:
It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a USB
flash media device and save the device for possible future use.
To restore the configuration, insert the USB flash media device with the saved configuration and
perform the
Restore from Removable Media
command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. (See
Computer Setup—File on page 9
in the Computer Setup—File table.)
