  Computer Setup—Advanced (for advanced users) (continued)

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:

Turbo Mode (enable/disable). Allows you to enable and disable the Intel Turbo Mode feature, which

allows one core of the system to run at a higher than standard frequency and power if other cores

are idle. Default is enabled.

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. Default is enabled.

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

Multi-Processor (enable/disable). Use this option to disable multi-processor support under the OS.

Default is enabled.

USB3.0 BIOS Driver Support (enable/disable). Use this option to disable USB 3.0 ports.

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.

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)

Video Option ROMs (legacy only/EFI only)

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 75

 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 75

 in the Computer Setup—File table.)
