Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL TPS BIOS Setup Utility 3. Onboard Video Option Values: Enabled Disabled Help Text: On-board video controller. Warning: System video is completely disabled if this option is disabled and an add-in video adapter is not installed. Comments: When disabled, the system requires an add-in video card for the video to be seen. When there is no add-in video card installed, Onboard Video is set to Enabled and grayed out so it cannot be changed. If there is an add-in video card installed in a PCIe slot connected to CPU Socket 1, and the Legacy VGA Socket option is set to CPU Socket 1, then this Onboard Video option is available to be set. If there is an add-in video card installed on a PCIe slot connected to CPU Socket 2, and the Legacy VGA Socket option is set to CPU Socket 2, this option is grayed out and unavailable, with a value set to Disabled. This is because the Onboard Video is connected to CPU Socket 1, and is not functional when CPU Socket 2 is the active path for video. When Legacy VGA Socket is set back to CPU Socket 1, this option becomes available again, set to its default value of Enabled. Note: This option does not appear on some models.

Legacy VGA Socket Option Values: CPU Socket 1 CPU Socket 2 Help Text: Determines whether Legacy VGA video output is enabled for PCIe slots attached to Processor Socket 1 or 2. Socket 1 is the default. Comments: This option is necessary when using an add-in video card on a PCIe slot attached to CPU Socket 2, due to a limitation of the processor IIO. The Legacy video device can be connected through either socket, but there is a setting that must be set on only one of the two. This option allows the switch to using a video card in a slot connected to CPU Socket 2. This option does not appear unless the BIOS is running on a board which have one processor installed on CPU Socket 2 and can potentially a video card installed in a PCIe slot connected to CPU Socket 2. This option is grayed out as unavailable and set to CPU Socket 1 unless there is a processor installed on CPU Socket 2 and a video card installed in a PCIe slot connected to CPU Socket 2. When this option is active and is set to CPU Socket 2, then both Onboard Video and Dual Monitor Video are set to Disabled and grayed out as unavailable. This is because the Onboard Video is a PCIe device connected to CPU Socket 1, and is unavailable when the Legacy VGA Socket is set to Socket 2.
