Diskette Controller

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.

 

Integrated Drive

Controller

 

Enables or disables the system's integrated drive controller. This option enables or disables all IDE and SATA ports at the same time.

 

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 NIC1

Embedded Gb NIC2

 

 

Enables or disables the system's integrated network adapters. 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 each integrated network adapter. This field does not have user-selectable settings.

 

Serial Port

(Auto default)

 

Serial port options are COM1, COM3, Auto, and Off.

 

When the serial port is set to Auto, the integrated port automatically attempts to use COM1 first, and then COM3. If both addresses

are in use, 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.

Sets the integrated speaker On or Off. A change to this option takes effect immediately (rebooting the system is not required).
