IGX Configuration

The settings in this submenu are synchronous to those under the same items on the MB Intelligent

Tweaker(M.I.T.) main menu.

Virtualization

Virtualization allows a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent parti-

tions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple virtual systems.

(Default: Disabled)

AMD K8 Cool&Quiet control

Auto

Lets the AMD Cool'n'Quiet driver dynamically adjust the CPU clock and VID to re-

duce heat output from your computer and its power consumption. (Default)

Disabled

Disables this function.

C-state Pmin

Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C-state mode in system halt state. When enabled,

the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power con-

sumption. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default: Auto)

Hard Disk Boot Priority

Specifies the sequence of loading the operating system from the installed hard drives. Use the up or

down arrow key to select a hard drive, then press the plus key <+> (or <PageUp>) or the minus key <-> (or

<PageDown>) to move it up or down on the list. Press <Esc> to exit this menu when finished.

EFI CD/DVD Boot Option

Set this item to EFI if you want to install the operating system to a hard drive larger than 2.2 TB. Make

sure the operating system to be installed supports booting from a GPT partition, such as Windows 7 64-

bit and Windows Server 2003 64-bit. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting depending

on the hard drive you install. (Default: Auto)

First/Second/Third Boot Device

Specifies the boot order from the available devices. Use the up or down arrow key to select a device

and press <Enter> to accept. Options are: LS120, Hard Disk, CDROM, ZIP, USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, USB-

CDROM, USB-HDD, Legacy LAN, Disabled.

Password Check

Specifies whether a password is required every time the system boots, or only when you enter BIOS

Setup. After configuring this item, set the password(s) under the Set Supervisor/User Password item in

the BIOS Main Menu.
