Maximizing performance by default

To maximize the performance of your PCIe boards (and in rare cases, their

stability), it is recommended to disable power management for PCIe boards and

your Matrox Supersight. By default, the Matrox Supersight SHB-5520 BIOS

disables all active state power management (ASPM or equivalent) settings, as well

as the advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI). It is not recommended

to change these settings. Further information is provided in the descriptions of

the associated power management BIOS items.

The BIOS setup utility

The BIOS setup utility allows you to modify certain hardware settings. It is

recommended that you not change the default settings, unless connected devices

require the change (for example, to match the manufacturer-recommended hard

disk or display board settings).

❖ The BIOS setup utility described in this chapter applies to the Matrox Supersight

SHB-5520 board only.

To enter the BIOS setup utility, turn on the Matrox Supersight unit and press the

Delete key or the F2 key during power-up self-test (POST) for the SHB. You only

have a few moments to press this key before the boot-up process continues.
