Select this choice to view or change assignments for devices and input/output (I/O) ports. You can
configure the remote console redirection, and enable or disable integrated Ethernet controllers and PCI
slots. If you disable a device, it cannot be configured, and the operating system cannot detect it
(disabling a device is equivalent to disconnecting the device).
You can also choose to enable or disable adapter option ROM support. Disabling support can
potentially improve the time it takes the blade server to start.
– Power
Select this choice to view or change Active Energy Manager (AEM) power capping to control power
consumption and processor performance states.
– Operating Modes
Select this choice to determine operational settings, such as operating mode (acoustic, efficiency, or
performance) and memory speed.
– Legacy Support
Select this choice to view or set legacy support.
– Force Legacy Video on Boot
Select this choice to enable or disable force INT video support if the operating system does not
support UEFI video output standards. The default is Enable.
– Rehook INT 19h
Select this choice to enable or disable devices from taking control of the boot process. The default is
Disable.
– Legacy Thunk Support
Select this choice to enable or disable UEFI to interact with PCI mass storage devices that are non-
UEFI compliant. The default is Enable.

Notes: This option is primarily for older operating systems that have problems with USB
communications device class (CDC) Ethernet interfaces. Disabling this option will cause the
following issues:
• Online update packages will not work.
• Updates that use Bootable Media Creator (BoMC) will not work because BoMC uses the LAN
over USB interface.
• You must install the IPMI device driver to use ASU to change the IMM2 or UEFI configuration.
• You cannot set the IMM2 OS Loader watchdog.
