&& AMD C6 Support (Note) Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C6 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. The C6 state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C1. (Default: Enabled) && Virtualization Virtualization enhanced by Virtualization Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple virtual systems. (Default: Disabled) && AMD K8 Cool&Quiet control Auto Lets the AMD Cool'n'Quiet driver dynamically adjust the CPU clock and VID to reduce heat output from your computer and its power consumption. (Default) Disabled Disables this function. && AMD APM Master Mode (AMD Application Power Management Function) (Note) Auto Lets BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default) Enabled Dynamically monitors the power consumption of the CPU cores and automatically optimizes the CPU to its best performance level. Disabled Disables this function. && CPU core Control Allows you to determine whether to manually enable/disable CPU cores. Auto Lets the BIOS to enable all CPU cores (number of cores available depends on the CPU being used). (Default) Manual Allows you to individually enable/disable CPU Core. && One Core Per Compute Unit (Note) Enables or disables one core of each Compute Unit. If set to Enabled, each Compute Unit will operate with only one core and the CPU core 3-4 items will become unconfigurable. This item is configurable only when CPU core Control is set to Manual. (Default: Disabled) && CPU core 1-2 (Note) This setting is fixed. CPU Core 1-2 is always enabled. && CPU core 3-4 (Note) Allows you to enable/disable each Compute Unit respectively. If set to Disabled, both cores of the CPU Unite will be disabled. This item is configurable only when One Core Per Compute Unit is set to Disabled. (Default: Enabled) && Hard Disk Boot Priority Specifies the sequence of loading the operating system from the installed hard drives. Use the up or down arrow key to select a hard drive, then press the plus key (or ) or the minus key (or ) to move it up or down on the list. Press to exit this menu when finished. && EFI CD/DVD Boot Option Set this item to EFI if you want to install the operating system to a hard drive larger than 2.2 TB. Make sure the operating system to be installed supports booting from a GPT partition, such as Windows 7 64-bit and Windows Server 2003 64-bit. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting depending on the hard drive you install. (Default: Auto) && First/Second/Third Boot Device Specifies the boot order from the available devices. Use the up or down arrow key to select a device and press to accept. Options are: LS120, Hard Disk, CDROM, ZIP, USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, USB-HDD, Legacy LAN, Disabled. (Note) This item is present only when you install a CPU that supports this feature. - 23 -

AMD C6 Support
(Note)
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C6 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the
CPU core frequency will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. The C6
state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C1. (Default: Enabled)
&
Virtualization
Virtualization enhanced by Virtualization Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating systems
and applications in independent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple
virtual systems. (Default: Disabled)
&
AMD K8 Cool&Quiet control
±
Auto
Lets the AMD Cool'n'Quiet driver dynamically adjust the CPU clock and VID to reduce
heat output from your computer and its power consumption. (Default)
±
Disabled
Disables this function.
&
AMD APM Master Mode (AMD Application Power Management Function)
(Note)
±
Auto
Lets BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default)
±
Enabled
Dynamically monitors the power consumption of the CPU cores and automatically
optimizes the CPU to its best performance level.
±
Disabled
Disables this function.
&
CPU core Control
Allows you to determine whether to manually enable/disable CPU cores.
±
Auto
Lets the BIOS to enable all CPU cores (number of cores available depends on the CPU
being used). (Default)
±
Manual
Allows you to individually enable/disable CPU Core.
&
One Core Per Compute Unit
(Note)
Enables or disables one core of each Compute Unit. If set to
Enabled
, each Compute Unit will operate
with only one core and the
CPU core 3-4
items will become unconfigurable. This item is configurable only
when
CPU core Control
is set to
Manual
. (Default: Disabled)
&
CPU core 1-2
(Note)
This setting is fixed. CPU Core 1-2 is always enabled.
&
CPU core 3-4
(Note)
Allows you to enable/disable each Compute Unit respectively. If set to
Disabled
, both cores of the CPU
Unite will be disabled. This item is configurable only when
One Core Per Compute Unit
is set to
Disabled
.
(Default: Enabled)
&
Hard Disk Boot Priority
Specifies the sequence of loading the operating system from the installed hard drives.
Use the up or down arrow key to select a hard drive, then press the plus key <+> (or <PageUp>) or the
minus key <-> (or <PageDown>) to move it up or down on the list. Press <Esc> to exit this menu when
finished.
&
EFI CD/DVD Boot Option
Set this item to
EFI
if you want to install the operating system to a hard drive larger than 2.2 TB. Make sure
the operating system to be installed supports booting from a GPT partition, such as Windows 7 64-bit and
Windows Server 2003 64-bit.
Auto
lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting depending on the
hard drive you install. (Default: Auto)
&
