Computer Setup Computer Setup (Continued) Heading Option Description Advanced* (continued) Power-On Options (continued) • After Power Loss (off/on): After power loss, if you connect your computer to an electric power strip and would like to turn on power to the computer using the switch on the power strip, set this option to "on." ✎ If you turn off power to your computer using the switch on a power strip, you will not be able to use the suspend/sleep feature or the Remote Management features. • I/O APIC Mode (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will allow Microsoft Windows Operating Systems to run optimally. This feature must be disabled for certain non-Microsoft Operating Systems to work properly. • USB Buffer @ 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 1MB 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 64MB or less of RAM. Support for Computer Setup options may vary depending on your specific hardware configuration. * These options should be used by advanced users only. Computer Setup Guide 19
