Dell PowerVault 715N (Rackmount NAS Appliance) - Manual (Page 13)

Mark DMI events as read — marks the events as read after you open them in the event log.
Memory Test — when enabled, verifies the amount of memory on your system when you boot.
1st/2nd/3rd/4th Boot Device — determines where and in which order the system looks for a bootable operating
system each time it is started.
Advanced Chipset Setup
Use this screen to make changes to the system's memory settings.
DRAM Integrity Mode — when enabled, allows BIOS to perform a parity/ECC check to the POST memory tests.
Power Management Setup
Use this page to set parameters for system power management operation.
Power Management/APM — allows operating systems that have advanced power management (APM) to control
some of the power management operations on the system.
System Thermal — when enabled, the system shuts down after exceeding the Thermal Active Temperature
threshold of 75°C or 167°F.
Thermal Active Temperature — the temperature at which the system automatically shuts down if System
Thermal is enabled. This field is display only.
Restore on AC/Power Loss — sets the power state after a shutdown caused by an unexpected interruption of AC
power. When the value is set to ON, the system turns back on. If the value is set to OFF, the system remains off
after the power interruption. If the value is set to KEEP LAST, the system returns to the last power state.
PCI/Plug and Play Setup
Use this screen to set how the system handles plug-and-play devices and PCI bus devices.
Clear NVRAM — when set to Yes, this option removes information in the Non-Volatile Random Access Memory
(NVRAM) about the configuration of plug-and-play devices. The system creates new configuration information the
next time you boot.
PCI Latency Timer (PCI Clocks) — allows the chipset to use an embedded, 32-bit posted write buffer to support
timed delay transaction cycles.
Peripheral Setup
Use this screen to set parameters for peripheral items on the system.
Onboard Serial Port 1 and Serial Port 2 — disables the serial ports or assigns a port address and name to the
ports. Dell recommends that you set the items to Auto so the system can dynamically assign port addresses and
names.
Onboard IDE — enables or disables the primary and secondary IDE channels installed on the system board.
Console Redirect — enables and selects the serial port for console redirection. Use C.R. Baud Rate to set a
specific baud rate for the serial port and use C.R. Mode to assign the console redirection function working only on
POST or runtime mode.
NOTE: Console redirection is enabled by default. However, if you disable it in the BIOS Setup utility, you can
re-enable it only by pressing the console redirection button on the system board. See your Installation and
Troubleshooting Guide for information about enabling console redirection.
