Description
Enables you to set the time on the system.
Enables you to set the date on the system.
Specifies the asset tag and enables you to modify it for security and tracking purposes.
Enables you to set whether the system boots with the NumLock enabled or disabled. This
option is set to On by default.
NOTE:
This option does not apply to 84-key keyboards.
Enables or disables the F1/F2 prompt on error. This option is set to Enabled by default. The
F1/F2 prompt also includes keyboard errors.
Enables you to determine whether the system BIOS loads the legacy video (INT 10H)
option ROM from the 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.
Enables or disables In-System Characterization. This option is set to Disabled by default.
The two other options are Enabled and Enabled - No Reboot.
NOTE:
The default setting for In-System Characterization is subject to change
in future BIOS releases.
When enabled, In-System Characterization (ISC) executes during POST upon detecting
relevant changes 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.
