Enables or disables the Embedded NIC1 and NIC2. If set to Disabled, the NIC may still be available for shared network access by the embedded management controller. The embedded NIC1 and NIC2 option is only available on systems that do not have NDCs. This option is mutually exclusive with the Integrated Network Card 1 option. Configure this function using the NIC management utilities of the system. Enables or disables the I/OAT option. Enable only if the hardware and software support the feature. Enables or disables the Embedded Video Controller. By default, the embedded video controller is Enabled. Current state of Embedded Video Controller is Enabled. Current State of Embedded Video Controller is a read-only field, indicating the current state for the Embedded Video Controller. If the Embedded Video Controller is the only display capability in the system (that is, no add-in graphics card is installed), then the Embedded Video Controller is automatically used as the primary display even if the Embedded Video Controller setting is Disabled. Displays the current state of the Embedded Video Controller. Current State of Embedded Video Controller is a read-only field, indicating the current state for the Embedded Video Controller. Enables or disables the BIOS configuration of Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) devices. By default, the SR-IOV Global Enable option is set to Disabled. If your system stops responding, this watchdog timer aids in the recovery of your operating system. When this field is set to Enabled, the operating system is allowed to initialize the timer. When the option is set to Disabled (the default), the timer will have no effect on the system. Enables or disables the support for PCIe devices that require large amounts of memory. By default, the option is set to Enabled. Enables or disables the available PCIe slots on your system. The Slot Disablement feature controls the configuration of PCIe cards installed in the specified slot. Slot disablement must be used only when the installed peripheral card is preventing booting into the operating system or causing delays in system startup. If the slot is disabled, both the Option ROM and UEFI drivers are disabled.
