Select Enabled to enable the Execute-Disable Bit which will allow the processor to designate
areas in the system memory where an application code can execute and where it cannot,

immediately and allow the drives that are attached to these host adapters to function as
bootable disks. If this item is set to Postponed, the ROM BIOS of the host adapters will not
capture Interrupt 19 immediately and allow the drives attached to these adapters to function
as bootable devices at bootup. The options are
Immediate
