Allows you to set: (continued)
• PCI Slot x Option ROM Download. Allows you to
enable/disable the downloading of the PCI slot option ROM.
“x” can be a value of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
• NIC PXE (enable/disable). The BIOS contains an embedded
NIC option ROM to allow the unit to boot through the network
to a PXE server. This is typically used to download a corporate
image to a hard drive. The NIC option ROM takes up memory
space below 1MB commonly referred to as DOS Compatibility
Hole (DCH) space. This space is limited. The F10 option allows
you to disable the downloading of the embedded NIC option
ROM, giving more DCH space for other PCI cards which may
need option ROM space. The default setting for the NIC option
ROM is “enabled.”
PCI VGA
Configuration Displayed only if there are multiple PCI video adapters in the
system. Allows you to specify which VGA controller will be the
“boot” or primary VGA controller.
*Available on select models.
**These options should be used by advanced users only.
