Page 30
▶Serial Port Console Redirection ▶Console Redirection Console Redirection operates in host systems that do not have a monitor and keyboard attached. This setting enables/disables the operation of console re-direction. When set to [Enabled], BIOS redirects and sends all contents that should be displayed on the screen to the serial COM port for display on the terminal screen.
Page 31
▶Terminal Type To operate the system’s console redirection, you need a terminal supporting ANSI terminal protocol and a RS-232 null modem cable connected between the host system and terminal(s). This setting specifies the type of terminal device for console redirection. ▶Bits per second, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits This setting specifies the transfer rate (bits per second, data bits, parity, stop bits) of Console Redirection.
▶Trusted Computing ▶Security Device Support This setting enables/disables BIOS support for security device. When set to [Disable], the OS will not show security device. TCG EFI protocol and INT1A interface will not be available. ▶Security Configuration ▶Intel(R) TXE Configuration Intel Trusted Execution Technology provides highly scalable platform security in physical and virtual infrastructures.
Page 33
Chipset ▶DVMT Pre-Allocated This setting defines the DVMT pre-allocated memory. Pre-allocated memory is the small amount of system memory made available at boot time by the system BIOS for video. Pre-allocated memory is also known as locked memory. This is because it is "locked" for video use only and as such, is invisible and unable to be used by the operating system.
Page 34
Power ▶Restore AC Power Loss This setting specifies whether your system will reboot after a power failure or interrupt occurs. Available settings are: [Power Off] Leaves the computer in the power off state. [Power On] Leaves the computer in the power on state. [Last State] Restores the system to the previous status before power failure or interrupt occurred.
Page 35
** Advanced Resume Events Control ** ▶PCIE PME This field specifies whether the system will be awakened from power saving modes when activity or input signal of onboard PCIE PME is detected. ▶USB from S3/S4 The item allows the activity of the USB device to wake up the system from S3/S4 sleep state. ▶RTC When [Enabled], your can set the date and time at which the RTC (real-time clock) alarm awakens the system from suspend mode.
Save & Exit ▶Save Changes and Reset Save changes to CMOS and reset the system. ▶Discard Changes and Exit Abandon all changes and exit the Setup Utility. ▶Discard Changes Abandon all changes. ▶Restore Defaults Use this menu to load the default values set by the motherboard manufacturer specifically for optimal performance of the motherboard.
