Table 6 Computer Setup-Advanced (for advanced users) (continued) Option Description 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. Inserting a PCI Express x16 video card automatically disables Integrated Video. When a PCI Express x16 video card is installed, Integrated Video cannot be enabled. ● 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). ● 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. Management Devices The Management Devices menu will only be displayed in the Advanced menu when the BIOS detects multiple management options. This option is for installed NIC cards that support ASF or DASH. Use the Management Devices menu to select if the BIOS management operations will be through the embedded solution or one of the installed NIC cards. Management Operations Allows you to set: ● MEBx Setup Prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature displays the CTRL+P prompt during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the prompt from being displayed. However, pressing Ctrl+P still accesses the utility used to configure manageability settings. The CTRL+P function activates the MEBx Setup menu. If the Setup Password is configured, the user will be prompted to correctly enter it before being allowed to enter the MEBx Setup. It the password is entered incorrectly three times, the MEBx Setup will not be activated. ● SOL Character Echo (enable/disable). Some remote consoles print remotely-entered characters which can cause the characters to appear twice (once when entered remotely and once when echoed back from local client video). This option allows the administrator to have the SOL terminal emulator suppress echoing remotely-entered characters to the local video display. ● SOL Terminal Emulation Mode (enable/disable). Selects between VT100 and ANSI SOL terminal emulation. SOL terminal emulation mode is only activated during remote AMT redirection operations. The emulation options allow administrators to select which mode works best with their console. ● SOL Keyboard (enable/disable). Disable or enable client keyboard during SOL sessions. Some remote remediation may involve having the local client boot a remote image provided by an administrator. This option determines if the BIOS will keep the local keyboard enabled or disabled for possible local client interaction. If the local keyboard is disabled, all keyboard input is only accepted from the remote source. 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 Save to Removable Media on page 3 in the Computer Setup-File table.) 12 Computer Setup (F10) Utility ENWW
