Recovering The Configuration Settings - Compaq dc5800 - Microtower PC Manual

Table 6 Computer Setup—Advanced (for advanced users) (continued)

Recovering the Configuration Settings

This method of recovery requires that you first perform the Save to Removable Media command with
the Computer Setup (F10) Utility before Restore is needed. (See
on page 3 in the Computer Setup—File table.)
NOTE: It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a diskette,
a USB flash media device, or a diskette-like device (a storage device set to emulate a diskette drive)
and save the diskette or device for possible future use.
To restore the configuration, insert the diskette, USB flash media device, or other storage media
emulating a diskette with the saved configuration and perform the Restore from Removable Media
command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. (See
Computer Setup—File table.)
12 Computer Setup (F10) Utility
●
Multi-Processor (enable/disable). This option may be used to disable multi-processor support
under the OS.
● Internal speaker (some models) (does not affect external speakers)
●
Monitor Tracking (enable/disable). Allows BIOS to save monitor asset information.
● NIC PXE Option ROM Download (enable/disable). The BIOS contains an embedded NIC option
ROM to allow the unit to boot through the network to a PXE server. This is typically used to
download a corporate image to a hard drive. The NIC option ROM takes up memory space
below 1MB commonly referred to as DOS Compatibility Hole (DCH) space. This space is
limited. This F10 option will allow users to disable the downloading of this embedded NIC option
ROM thus giving more DCH space for additional PCI cards which may need option ROM space.
The default will be to have the NIC option-ROM-enabled.
