Table 64. Integrated Devices details (continued) Option Description 4K Cycles, 8K Cycles, 16K Cycles, 32K Cycles, 64K Cycles and 128K Cycles.This option is set to 2K Cycles by default. Current State of Embedded Video Controller Displays the current state of the embedded video controller. The Current State of Embedded Video Controller option is a read-only field. 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 set to Disabled. SR-IOV Global Enable Enables or disables the BIOS configuration of Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) devices. This option is set to Disabled by default. OS Watchdog Timer If your system stops responding, this watchdog timer aids in the recovery of your operating system. When this option is set to Enabled, the operating system initializes the timer. When this option is set to Disabled (the default), the timer does not have any effect on the system. Empty Slot Unhide Enables or disables the root ports of all the empty slots that are accessible to the BIOS and operating system. This option is set to Disabled by default. Slot Disablement Enables or disables or boot driver disables the available PCIe slots on your system. The slot disablement feature controls the configuration of the PCIe cards installed in the specified slot. Slots must be disabled only when the installed peripheral card prevents booting into the operating system or causes delays in system startup. If the slot is disabled, both the Option ROM and UEFI drivers are disabled. Only slots that are present on the system will be available for control. When this option is set to boot driver disabled, both the Option ROM and UEFI driver from the slot will not run during POST. The system will not boot from the card and its pre-boot services will not be available. However, the card is available to the operating system. Slot n: Enables or disables or only the boot driver is disabled for the PCIe slot n. This option is set to Enabled by default. Slot Bifurcation Auto Discovery Bifurcation Settings allows Platform Default Bifurcation, Auto Discovery of Bifurcation, and Manual bifurcation Control. This option is set to Platform Default Bifurcation by default. The slot bifurcation field is accessible when set to Manual bifurcation Control and is grayed out when set to Platform Default Bifurcation and Auto Discovery of Bifurcation. NOTE: The slot bifurcation supports on PCIe slot only, does not support slot type from Paddle card to Riser and Slimline connector to Riser. Serial Communication To view the Serial Communication screen, power on the system, press F2, and click System Setup Main Menu > System BIOS > Serial Communication. NOTE: The serial port is optional for the PowerEdge R760 system. The Serial Communication option is applicable only if the serial COM port is installed in the system. Table 65. Serial Communication details Option Description Serial Communication Enables the serial communication options. Selects serial communication devices (Serial Device 1 and Serial Device 2) in BIOS. BIOS console redirection can also be enabled, and the port address can be specified. The options available for System without serial COM port (DB9) are On without Console Redirection, 66 Pre-operating system management applications
