Hard-Disk Drive - Identifies the hard drive. The drive is listed by its drive letter (such as Hard Disk Drive C:). IDE - Identifies and defines the optical drive attached to the IDE connector on the system board. If there is no installed drive, it appears as IDE CD-ROM Device (not installed). An included device displays with a checkmark next to its listing. To remove the device from the boot sequence, use the spacebar to clear the checkmark. To change the boot order, use + or - to move the listing up or down. Memory Information ISnyssttaelml eMdemory Identifies and lists the amount of detected memory. SSpyesetdem Memory Identifies and lists the speed of the detected memory in megahertz (MHz). For information on supported memory see Memory. CShyasnteneml Mode Identifies and lists the installed memory as either Dual or Single channel. For information on supported memory see Memory. AGP Aperture Identifies and lists the amount of memory dedicated for graphics. The values vary depending on the capacity of installed memory. CPU Information Hyperthreading If your computer's processor supports Hyper-Threading, this section displays the following options: Disabled - Hyper-Threading is Off. Enabled - Hyper-Threading is On. CPU Speed Lists the options for setting the processor speed as Normal or Compatible. NOTICE: Changing the CPU Speed is not recommended, this may shorten the life of the processor and void the warranty. Bus Speed Lists the speed that the processor runs in megaherz (MHz). Processor ID Lists the processor Clock Speed, and L2 Cache Size. Integrated Devices Sound Enables or disables the onboard audio controller. INentteworfrakce Controller You can set the NIC to On (default), Off, or On w/ PXE. When the On w/ PXE setting is active (available only for the future boot process), the computer prompts the user to press . Pressing this key combination displays a menu that allows you to select a method for booting from a network server. If a boot routine is not available from the network server, the computer attempts to boot from the next device in the boot sequence list. Mouse Port Enables or disables the onboard PS/2-compatible mouse controller. USB Emulation Set to On (default) so that USB devices will be detected and supported in the operating system. The No Boot option restricts external access to drive data. Use this option to prohibit users from booting the computer using an external USB device. CUSoBntroller Set to On (default) so that multiple USB devices can be connected to a system without compromising data speed. When set to Off, all connected ports share a set data speed that is equivalent to one port. #S1erial Port Identifies and defines the serial port settings. Auto, the default setting, automatically configures a connector to a particular designation (COM1 or COM3). MPaodraellel Port Identifies and defines the parallel port settings. You can set the parallel port to Off, AT, PS/2, EPP, or ECP. IP/aOra lAldedlre Psosrt Identifies the address for the parallel port. DIinstekerftatcee Identifies and defines the floppy drive interface. You can set the interface to Auto, Read Only, or Off. CPorinmtarorlyl eVrideo This setting specifies which video controller is primary when two video controllers are present on the computer. COnobnotarordll eVrideo Sets the amount of system memory to be reserved for the onboard video controller. Power Management Suspend Mode The options are S1, a suspend state, where the computer is running in a low-power mode, and S3, a standby state, where the power is reduced or turned off for most components, however, system memory remains active. ARCec oPvoewreyr Determines what happens when AC power is restored to the computer. LMoodwe Power When Low Power Mode is selected, remote wakeup events no longer power up from Hibernate or Off. System Security PSatasstuwosrd This option locks the system password field with the setup password. When the field is locked, the option to disable password security by pressing when the computer starts is no longer available. PSayssstewmord Displays the current status of the system's password security feature as Enabled or Disabled. PSaestsupword Displays the current status of the system's password security feature and allows a new system password to be assigned and verified. DPXeEfa uBlItS Policy Used to set the NIC On w/PCE feature policy to Deny, Accept, or Reset. See Network Interface Controller. Boot Sequence This feature allows you to change the boot sequence for devices. Option Settings Diskette Drive — The computer attempts to boot from the floppy drive. If the floppy disk in the drive is not bootable, if no floppy disk is in the drive, or if there is no floppy drive installed in the computer, the computer generates an error message. Hard Drive — The computer attempts to boot from the primary hard drive. If no operating system is on the drive, the computer generates an error message. CD Drive — The computer a...
