Table 5-5 Computer Setup-Advanced (for advanced users) (continued) Select the Legacy device's IRQ, DMA, and I/O Range. The settings may not take effect for all operating systems. To hide a device from the operating system, see Security > Device Security. Bus Options Allows you to enable or disable: ● PCI SERR# Generation. Default is enabled. Device Options Allows you to set: ● Num Lock State at Power-On (off/on). Default is off. ● Multi-Processor (enable/disable). Use this option to disable multi-processor support under the OS. Default is enabled. ● Hyper-Threading (enable/disable). Use this option to disable processor hyper-threading. ● Internal Speaker (enable/disable). Allows you to enable or disable the internal speaker. ● 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 is-enabled. 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 Computer Setup-File on page 49 in the Computer Setup-File table.) NOTE: It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a USB flash media device and save the device for possible future use. To restore the configuration, insert the USB flash media device with the saved configuration and perform the Restore from Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. (See Computer Setup-File on page 49 in the Computer Setup-File table.) 54 Chapter 5 Computer Setup (F10) Utility
