Table 7-5
Computer Setup—Advanced (for advanced users) (continued)
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:
●
Monitor Tracking (enable/disable). Allows BIOS to save monitor asset information. Default is
disabled.
●
CPU Performance Boost (enable/disable/auto). If the system is using less than the maximum
number of cores within the processor, this feature enables or disables the redistribution of power to
fewer cores and raises the clock frequency on those cores. Default is Auto.
●
Num Lock State at Power-On (off/on). Default is off.
●
Integrated Video (enable/disable). Use this option to disable the integrated video controller when
another video controller is present in the system, or to configure UMA memory settings. Default is
‘Automatic UMA Size’.
If you select ‘Selectable UMA Size’, a new menu item appears in the Device Options dialog box to
allow you to select the amount of memory to allocate to video memory.
●
USB Charging Port. Use this option to enable the USB charging port. Default is disabled.
PCI 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.
Management Operations
Allows you to set:
●
DASH Support (enable/disable). Allows you to enable or disable the DASH firmware. Default is
disabled. If you enable this setting,
DASH Console Redirection
,
ASF BIOS Mode
, and
ASF Watchdog
Timer
become active.
●
DASH Console Redirection (enable/disable). When enabled, allows you to change keyboard standard
using the
DASH Terminal Type
option.
●
DASH Terminal Type (VT-UTF8, ANSI, VT100, VT100+). Allows you to configure keyboard standard.
●
ASF BIOS Mode (OFF/ON/alert only). Allows you to set xxxxx.
●
ASF 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.
Option ROM Launch
Policy
Let you set the launch policy for option ROMs. An Option ROM typically consists of firmware that is called
by the system BIOS. For example, an adapter card that controls a boot device might contain firmware that
is used to connect the device to the system once the Option ROM is loaded.
●
PXE Option ROMs (legacy only/EFI only/do not launch)
●
Storage Option ROMs (legacy only/EFI only/do not launch)
●
Video Option ROMs (legacy only/EFI only)
Connected BIOS
Enables or disables the feature that updates the BIOS using the network.
●
Connected BIOS (Enabled/Disabled). Enables or disables BIOS network support. Default is enabled.
