Option Description
Current State of Displays the current state of the embedded video controller. The Current State of Embedded Video
Embedded Video Controller option is a read-only field. If the Embedded Video Controller is the only display capability in the system
Controller (that is, no add-in graphics card is installed), then the Embedded Video Controller is automatically used as the
primary display even if the Embedded Video Controller setting is set to Enabled.
SR-IOV Global Enables or disables the BIOS configuration of Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) devices. This option is set to
Enable Disabled by default.
OS Watchdog If your system stops responding, this watchdog timer aids in the recovery of your operating system. When this
Timer option is set to Enabled, the operating system initializes the timer. When this option is set to Disabled (the
default), the timer does not have any effect on the system.
Empty Slot Unhide Enables or disables the root ports of all the empty slots that are accessible to the BIOS and OS. This option is set
to Disabled by default.
Memory Mapped Enables or disables the support for the PCIe devices that need large amounts of memory. Enable this option only
I/O above 4 GB for 64-bit operating systems. This option is set to Enabled by default.
Memory Mapped When set to 12 TB, the system maps the MMIO base to 12 TB. Enable this option for an OS that requires 44 bit
I/O Base PCIe addressing. When set to 512 GB, the system maps the MMIO base to 512 GB, and reduces the maximum
support for memory to less than 512 GB. Enable this option only for the 4 GPU DGMA issue. This option is set to
56 TB by default.
Slot Disablement Enables or disables the available PCIe slots on your system. The slot disablement feature controls the
configuration of the PCIe cards installed in the specified slot. Slots must be disabled only when the installed
peripheral card prevents booting into the operating system or causes delays in system startup. If the slot is
disabled, both the Option ROM and UEFI drivers are disabled. Only slots that are present on the system are
available for control.
Slot Bifurcation Allows Platform Default Bifurcation, Auto Discovery of Bifurcation and Manual Bifurcation Control. The
default is set to Platform Default Bifurcation. The slot bifurcation field is accessible when set to Manual
Bifurcation Control and is disabled when set to Platform Default Bifurcation or Auto Discovery of
Bifurcation.
NOTE: When there are multiple add-in graphic cards installed in the system, the first card
discovered during PCI enumeration is selected as the primary video. You might have to re-arrange
the cards in the slots in order to control which card is the primary video.
