Device Options
Allows you to set:
●
Printer Mode (Bi-Directional, EPP + ECP, Output Only).
●
Num Lock State at Power-On (off/on).
●
S5 Wake on LAN (enable/disable).
◦
To disable Wake on LAN during the off state (S5), use the arrow (left and right) keys to
select the
Advanced
>
Device Options
menu and set the
S5 Wake on LAN
feature to
Disable
. This obtains the lowest power consumption available on the computer during
S5. It does not affect the ability of the computer to Wake on LAN from suspend or
hibernation, but will prevent it from waking from S5 via the network. It does not affect
operation of the network connection while the computer is on.
◦
If a network connection is not required, completely disable the network controller (NIC)
by using the arrow (left and right) keys to select the
Security
>
Device Security
menu.
Set the
Network Controller
option to
Device Hidden
. This prevents the network
controller from being used by the operating system and reduces the power used by the
computer in S5.
●
Internal Speaker (some models) (does not affect external speakers).
●
NIC Option ROM Download (PXE, iSCSI or disable). iSCSI is similar to PXE but also
supports IPv6. 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. This F10 option will allow
users to disable the downloading of this embedded NIC option ROM thus giving more DCH
space for additional PCI cards which may need option ROM space. The default will be to
have the NIC option-ROM-enabled.
●
Turbo Mode (enable/disable). Allows some processor cores to run faster than rated
frequency when total power draw is low enough. Default is enabled.
