Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide Computer Setup (Continued) Heading Option Description Advanced* (continued) Power-On Options (continued) *These options should be used by advanced users only. Allows you to set: (continued) • I/O APIC mode (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will allow Windows operating systems to run optimally. This feature must be disabled for certain non-Microsoft® operating systems to work properly. • ACPI/USB buffers @ top of memory (enable/disable). Enabling this feature places USB memory buffers at the top of memory. The advantage is that some amount of memory below 1 MB is freed up for use by option ROMs. The disadvantage is that a popular memory manager, HIMEM.SYS, does not work properly when USB buffers are at top of memory AND the system has 64 MB or less of RAM. Onboard Devices Allows you to set resources for or disable onboard system devices (serial ports A, B, C, or D, parallel port, or diskette controller). PCI Devices • 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 APIC-based operating system. ✎ Support for specific Computer Setup options may vary depending on your hardware configuration. 14 www.hp.com Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide
