Allows you to set resources for or disable onboard system devices (diskette controller, serial port,
or parallel port).
● Lists currently installed PCI devices and their IRQ settings.
●
Allows you to reconfigure IRQ settings for these devices or to disable them entirely. These
settings have no effect under an ACPI-based operating system.
video is enabled. Allows you to specify which VGA controller will be the "boot" or primary VGA
controller.
On some models, allows you to enable or disable:
●
PCI SERR# generation.
● PCI VGA palette snooping, which sets the VGA palette snooping bit in PCI configuration space;
only needed when more than one graphics controller is installed.
Allows you to set:
●
Printer mode (Bi-Directional, EPP + ECP, Output Only).
●
Num Lock state at power-on (off/on).
● S5 Wake on LAN (enable/disable).
●
To disable Wake on LAN during the off state (S5), use the arrow (left and right) keys to
select the Advanced > Device Options menu and set the S5 Wake on LAN feature to
Disable. This obtains the lowest power consumption available on the computer during
S5. It does not affect the ability of the computer to Wake on LAN from suspend or
hibernation, but will prevent it from waking from S5 via the network. It does not affect
operation of the network connection while the computer is on.
●
If a network connection is not required, completely disable the network controller (NIC) by
using the arrow (left and right) keys to select the Security > Device Security menu. Set
the Network Controller option to Device Hidden. This prevents the network controller
from being used by the operating system and reduces the power used by the computer
in S5.
● Processor cache (enable/disable).
●
Integrated Graphics Memory Size (Automatic, 32M, 64M, 128M, 256M). This allows the user
to control the size of the memory used by the integrated graphics controller. Automatic allows
the BIOS to choose the optimal size. Available sizes may be limited by the installed system
memory.
● Integrated Video (enable/disable). Allows you to use integrated video and PCI Up Solution
video at the same time (available on some models only).
NOTE After Integrated Video is enabled and changes saved, a new menu item
appears under Advanced to allow you to select the primary VGA controller video
device.
● Internal speaker (some models) (enable/disable) (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
