Computer Setup—Advanced

NOTE:

Support for specific Computer Setup options may vary depending on the hardware

configuration.

Option

Heading

Power-On Options

Allows you to set:

●

POST messages (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will cause the system to display POST
error messages, which are error messages displayed on the monitor during the Power On Self
Test if the BIOS encounters some kind of problem while starting the PC. A POST error message
will only display on screen if the computer is capable of booting this far. If the POST detects
an error before this point, a beep code is generated instead. Default is disabled.

●

After Power Loss (off/on/previous state). Default is Power off. Setting this option to:

◦

Power off—causes the computer to remain powered off when power is restored.

◦

Power on—causes the computer to power on automatically as soon as power is restored.

◦

Previous state—causes the computer to power on automatically as soon as power is
restored, if it was on when power was lost.

NOTE:

If you turn off power to the computer using the switch on a power strip, you will not be

able to use the suspend/sleep feature or the Remote Management features.

●

POST Delay (in seconds). Enabling this feature will add a user-specified delay to the POST
process. This delay is sometimes needed for hard disks on some PCI cards that spin up very
slowly, so slowly that they are not ready to boot by the time POST is finished. The POST delay
also gives you more time to select 

F10

 to enter Computer (F10) Setup. Default is None.

BIOS Power-On

Allows you to set the computer to turn on automatically at a time you specify.

Onboard Devices

Allows you to set resources for or disable Legacy devices.

Select the Legacy device's IRQ, DMA, and I/O Range. The settings may not take effect for all
operating systems. To hide a device from the operating system, see Security > Device Security.

Bus Options

Allows you to enable or disable:

●

PCI SERR# Generation. Default is enabled.

●

PCI VGA Palette Snooping, which sets the VGA palette snooping bit in PCI configuration
space; only needed when more than one graphics controller is installed. Default is disabled.

Device Options

Allows you to set:

●

Num Lock State at Power-On (off/on). Default is on.

●

Internal Speaker (does not affect external speakers). Default is enabled.

●

NIC PXE Option ROM Download (enabled, disabled). Default is enable.

This option will be hidden when the Network Controller device security is set to Disable.

●

Multi-Processor (enable/disable). Not supported.
