Processor Cache Size, and whether the CPU is Hyperthreading Capable.
Memory
Info
Displays the amount of Installed Memory, Memory Speed, Memory Channel Mode, and a description of the Memory Technology.
Date/Time Resets the system's internal calendar and clock.
Option Description
Diskette
Drive
(Internal
default)
Enables and disables the diskette drives and sets read permission for the internal diskette drive. Off disables all diskette drives. Internal
enables the internal diskette drive. USB disables the internal diskette drive and enables a USB drive if the USB controller is enabled and a
USB drive is connected. Read Only enables the internal drive controller and allows the internal diskette drive read-only permission.
NOTE: Diskette drives are optional and may not be part of your system.
Drive (0-5)
(On default)
Enables or disables an ATA or SATA device (such as hard-drive, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM). Off disables the interface so that the device cannot
be used. On enables the interface so that the device can be used.
Displays the Controller type (ATA or SATA), Port number the drive is using, Drive ID number, and whether the drive is controlled by the
BIOS.
NOTE: Drive 0 and drive 1 are reserved for SATA drives and drives 2–5 are reserved for ATA or IDE drives.
Drive
Controller
(RAID On
default)
Determines the integrated SATA controller's operating mode. RAID Off disables RAID support. RAID On enables RAID every time the
system is restarted and locks the settings for drive 0 and drive 1.
NOTICE: When using a SCSI or SATA RAID add-in controller card, set the integrated SATA controller's operating mode to RAID Off.
Error
Reporting
(Off default)
Determines whether hard-drive errors for internal drives are reported during system startup. Off does not report errors. On reports errors.
Boot
Sequence
(Diskette
drive default)
Determines the order in which the system searches for boot devices during system startup. Available options can include the diskette drive,
CD drive, hard drives, and network.
Option Description
Mouse Port
(On default)
Enables or disables the integrated PS/2-compatible mouse controller. Off disables the controller. On enables the controller.
NIC Controller
(On default)
Enables or disables the integrated NIC controller. Off disables the controller. On enables the controller.
PXE is required only if you are booting to an operating system on another system; not if you are booting to an operating system on a
hard drive in this system.
LPT Port Mode
(PS/2 default)
Determines the mode of operation of the internal parallel port. Off disables the port. AT configures the port for IBM AT compatibility. PS/2
configures the port for IBM PS/2 compatibility. EPP configures the port for the EPP bidirectional protocol. ECP configures the port for the
ECP bidirectional protocol.
If you set the LPT Port Mode to ECP, the LPT Port DMA option appears in the option menu.
LPT Port
Address
(378 default)
Determines the address that the built-in parallel port uses.
LPT Port DMA
(Off default)
Determines the DMA channel that the parallel port will use when it is in ECP mode. Off disables the DMA channel. DMA 1 selects the DMA
1 channel. DMA 3 selects the DMA 3 channel.
Serial Port
(#1 or #2)
(Auto default)
Serial Port 1 options are COM1, COM3, Auto, and Off.
Serial Port 2 options are COM2, COM4, Auto, and Off.
When serial port 1 or 2 is set to Auto, the integrated port automatically maps to the next available port. Serial port 1 attempts to use
COM1 first and then COM3. Serial port 2 attempts to use COM2 first and then COM4. If both addresses are in use for a specific port, the
port is disabled.
If you set the serial port to Auto and add an expansion card with a port configured to the same designation, the system automatically
remaps the integrated port to the next available port designation that shares the same IRQ setting.
USB
(On default)
Enables or disables the internal USB controller. Off disables the controller. On enables the controller. No Boot enables the controller but
disables the ability to boot from a USB device.
Option Description
CPU Count Enables or disables the secondary CPU. Off disables the secondary CPU. On enables the secondary CPU.
