Advanced Menu
This menu contains BIOS settings that normally do not require modification. If you have
specific problems such as unbootable disks or resource conflicts, you may need to examine
these settings.
The Advanced setup menu includes the following submenus:
•
SATA Configuration
• CPU Configuration
• Video Configuration
• Power/Wake Configuration
• AMT Configuration
• USB Configuration
• Serial Port Configuration
SATA Configuration Submenu
Use this submenu to apply custom configurations to the internal disk drive of the IC-3173.
Normally, you do not need to modify these settings, as the factory default settings provide the
most compatible and optimal configuration.
•
SATA Controller(s)—Enables or disables the SATA controller. The default is Enabled .
• SATA Mode Selection—Enables you to choose between AHCI and IDE . The default is
AHCI .
• Onboard Storage—Lists the SATA disk drive and displays the size of the disk.
CPU Configuration Submenu
Use this submenu to apply custom configurations to the internal processor of the device.
Normally, you do not need to modify these settings, as the factory default settings provide the
most compatible and optimal configuration.
•
Hyper-Threading—This setting specifies whether or not to enable Intel Hyper-Threading
technology in the processor. When enabled, performance may increase because virtual
processing cores are enabled, but software jitter may increase. The default setting is
Disabled .
• Enabled CPU Cores—This setting specifies the number of processing cores that are
enabled. The default setting is
All .
• Turbo Boost—This setting specifies whether or not to enable Intel Turbo Boost
technology. When enabled, if current conditions within the processor allow, the processor
operates at frequencies higher than the base frequency. This may increase processing
performance, but software jitter may increase. The default setting is
Enabled .
• C-States—This setting specifies whether or not to enable CPU power management. When
enabled, the processor may achieve maximum operating frequency when Turbo Boost is
enabled, but software jitter may increase. The default setting is
Enabled .
• Hardware Prefetcher—This setting specifies whether or not to enable the hardware
prefetcher. Enabling this setting may increase performance by prefetching portions of
