Power Management and Advanced User Options
• Power Management
♦ APM – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
• Advanced features
♦ Post Memory Manager – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
♦ Watchdog Timeout (sec) – [select whole number between 1 and 255 seconds] or [Disabled]
∗ If this feature is enabled by selecting a timer interval, it will direct the watchdog timer to
reset the system if the OS fails to boot the system within the timer interval specified.
♦ Serial Console – [Hot Cable] or [Enabled]
∗ If the Hot Cable option is selected, the BIOS only allows serial console (console
redirection) when a Hot Cable is actually connected to Serial 1 or 2 (COM 1 or 2). The
Hot Cable option can not be used on Serial 3 or 4 (COM 3 or 4). Use the modified serial
cable described in Chapter 3, under Hot (Serial) Cable.
∗ If the [Enabled] option is selected, it instructs the BIOS to operate in the serial console
(console redirection) mode at all times (no video locally) with the serial port selected in
the Serial Console > Port field listed below. This option can be used on any of the Serial
ports (Serial 1, 2, 3, or 4). Use a standard null-modem serial cable.
∗ If a Hot Cable is connected to the other port (port not selected) the Hot Cable will
override the settings in this field [Enabled] and the Serial Console > Port field.
• Port – [3F8h], [2F8h], [3E8h], or [2E8h]
This field selects the COM (Serial) port address used for console redirection when
[Enabled] has been selected in Serial Console. Use a standard null-modem serial cable.
∗ If you connect a Hot Cable to the other port (port not selected) this field setting is
overriden and activates the connected port. Use the modified serial cable described in
Chapter 3, under Hot (Serial) Cable.
