Option Description
Bus Speed Displays the bus speed of the processors.
Logical Processor
(Enabled default) Displays when the processors support HyperThreading. Enabled permits all logical processors to be used by the operating system. Only
the first logical processor of each processor installed in the system is used by the operating system if Disabled is selected.
Sequential
Memory Access
(Enabled default) Displays when the processor supports sequential memory access. Enabled optimizes the system for applications that require sequential
memory access. Disabled is used for applications with random memory access.
Processor X ID Displays the family and model number of each processor.
Core Speed Displays the clock speed of the processor(s).
Level X Cache Displays the amount of cache memory for the processor.
Option Description
Primary SCSI
Controller
(On default) Enables the integrated SCSI subsystem. This field displays only when RAID is not detected in the system. Off disables the SCSI
subsystem.
Embedded SATA
Controller
(On default) Enables the integrated SATA subsystem. This field displays only when RAID is not detected in the system. Off disables the SATA
subsystem.
IDE CD-ROM
Controller
(Auto default) Enables the integrated IDE controller. When set to Auto, each channel of the integrated IDE controller is enabled if IDE devices are
attached to the channel and the external IDE controller is not detected.
Diskette Controller
(Auto default) Enables or disables the system's diskette drive controller. When Auto is selected, the system turns off the controller when necessary to
accommodate a controller card installed in an expansion slot. You can also configure the drive as read-only. When using the read-only
setting, the drive cannot be used to write to a disk.
USB Controller
(On with BIOS
support default) Enables or disables the system's USB ports. Options are On with BIOS support, On without BIOS support, or Off. Disabling the USB
ports makes system resources available for other devices.
Embedded Gb NIC
(Enabled with PXE
default) Enables or disables the system's integrated NIC. Options are Enabled without PXE, Enabled with PXE, and Disabled. PXE support
allows the system to boot from the network. Changes take effect after the system reboots.
MAC Address Displays the MAC address for the integrated 10/100/1000 NIC. This field does not have user-selectable settings.
Serial Port 1
(COM1 default) Serial Port 1 options are COM1, COM3, BMC Serial, BMC NIC, and Off. If an optional remote access controller (RAC) is installed in the
system, RAC is an additional option.
Serial port 1 shares three usage models. For standard usage, serial port 1 attempts to use COM1 first, and then COM3. For BMC usage,
serial port 1 uses the COM1 address and communication can be either through the Serial port or the integrated shared NIC. RAC control
uses only the COM1 address.
NOTE: Off and COM3 are not available options when Console Redirection is set to use Serial Port 1.
Parallel Port
(378h default) Sets the address for the integrated parallel port. The options are 378h, 278h, 3BCh, and Off.
Parallel Port Mode
(PS/2 default) Sets the operating mode for the integrated parallel port. The options are PS/2 and AT.
Speaker
(On) Enables or disables the system internal speaker.
