Computer Setup—Advanced (for advanced users) (continued)

PCI VGA

Configuration

Displayed only if there is an add-in video card in the system. Allows you to specify which VGA

controller will be the “boot” or primary VGA controller.

NOTE:

In order to see this entry, you must enable Integrated Video (

Advanced

Device

Options

) and Save Changes and Exit.

ASF Configuration

ASF (Alert Standard Format) is an industry standards-based technology that allows IT

administrators to manage PCs regardless of operating system state. ASF performs completely out

of band and only relies on the operating system to configure the solution.

Allows you to set:

●

ASF Support (enable/disable). Allows you to enable or disable ASF. Default is enabled.

●

ASF BIOS Mode (On/Alert Only/Off). Allows you set ASF BIOS mode to on, off, or only send

alerts. Default is On.

●

ASF Watchdog Timer (enable/disable). A timer started at system startup and cleared at the

end of POST. If the timer is not cleared within the specified amount of time, the hardware

sends an alert to the Management Console indicating the system has hung.

If enabled, this setting allows you to set the watchdog timer. 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.

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.
