Option Description
Keyboard NumLock Enables you to set whether the system boots with the NumLock enabled or disabled. This option is set to
On by default.
F1/F2 Prompt on Enables or disables the F1/F2 prompt on error. This option is set to Enabled by default. The F1/F2 prompt
Error also includes keyboard errors.
Load Legacy Video Enables you to determine whether the system BIOS loads the legacy video (INT 10H) option ROM from the
Option ROM video controller. Selecting Enabled in the operating system does not support UEFI video output standards.
This field is available only for UEFI boot mode. You cannot set the option to Enabled if UEFI Secure Boot
mode is enabled.
In-System Enables or disables In-System Characterization. This option is set to Disabled by default. The two other
Characterization options are Enabled and Enabled - No Reboot.
When enabled, In-System Characterization (ISC) executes during POST upon detecting relevant change(s)
in system configuration to optimize system power and performance. ISC takes about 20 seconds to execute,
and system reset is needed for ISC results to be applied. The Enabled - No Reboot option executes ISC and
continues without applying ISC results until the next time system reset occurs. The Enabled option executes
ISC and forces an immediate system reset so that ISC results can be applied. It takes the system longer to
be ready due to the forced system reset. When disabled, ISC does not execute.
