Table 6 Computer Setup-Advanced (for advanced users) (continued) NOTE: If you turn off power to the computer using the switch on a power strip, you will not be able to use the suspend/sleep feature or the Remote Management features. ● POST Delay (None, 5, 10 15, or 20 seconds). Enabling this feature will add a user-specified delay to the POST process. This delay is sometimes needed for hard disks on some PCI cards that spin up very slowly, so slowly that they are not ready to boot by the time POST is finished. The POST delay also gives you more time to select F10 to enter Computer (F10) Setup. ● I/O APIC Mode (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will allow Microsoft® Windows Operating Systems to run optimally. This feature must be disabled for certain non-Microsoft Operating Systems to work properly. ● Hyper-threading (enable/disable) ● Limit CPUID Maximum Value to 3. Restricts the number of CPUID functions reported by the microprocessor. Enable this feature if booting to Windows NT. Execute Memory Test Restarts the computer and executes the POST memory test. (some models) BIOS Power-On Allows you to set the computer to turn on automatically at a time you specify. Onboard Devices PCI Devices Allows you to set resources for or disable onboard system devices (serial port or parallel port). ● Lists currently installed PCI devices and their IRQ settings. ● Allows you to reconfigure IRQ settings for these devices or to disable them entirely. These settings have no effect under an ACPI-based operating system. PCI VGA Configuration Displayed only if there are one or more PCI graphics controllers in the system and the integrated video is enabled. Allows you to specify which VGA controller will be the "boot" or primary VGA controller. Bus Options On some models, allows you to enable or disable: ● PCI SERR# generation. ● PCI VGA palette snooping, which sets the VGA palette snooping bit in PCI configuration space; only needed when more than one graphics controller is installed. Device Options Allows you to set: ● Printer mode (Bi-Directional, EPP + ECP, Output Only). ● Num Lock state at power-on (off/on). ● S5 Wake on LAN (enable/disable). ● To disable Wake on LAN during the off state (S5), use the arrow (left and right) keys to set the S5 Wake on LAN feature to Disable. This obtains the lowest power consumption available on the computer during S5. It does not affect the ability of the computer to Wake on LAN from suspend or hibernation, but will prevent it from waking from S5 via the network. It does not affect operation of the network connection while the computer is on. ● If a network connection is not required, completely disable the network controller (NIC) by using the arrow (left and right) keys to select the Security > Device Security menu. Set the Network Controller option to Device Hidden. This prevents the network controller from being used by the operating system and reduces the power used by the computer in S5. ● Processor cache (enable/disable). ● Integrated Video (enable/disable) Allows you to use integrated video and PCI Up Solution video at the same time (available on some models only). ● Internal speaker (some models) (enable/disable) (does not affect external speakers) ENWW Computer Setup (F10) Utilities 11

NOTE:
If you turn off power to the computer using the switch on a power strip, you will not
be able to use the suspend/sleep feature or the Remote Management features.
POST Delay (None, 5, 10 15, or 20 seconds). Enabling this feature will add a user-specified
delay to the POST process. This delay is sometimes needed for hard disks on some PCI cards
that spin up very slowly, so slowly that they are not ready to boot by the time POST is finished.
The POST delay also gives you more time to select
F10
to enter Computer (F10) Setup.
I/O APIC Mode (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will allow Microsoft® Windows Operating
Systems to run optimally. This feature must be disabled for certain non-Microsoft Operating
Systems to work properly.
Hyper-threading (enable/disable)
Limit CPUID Maximum Value to 3. Restricts the number of CPUID functions reported by the
microprocessor. Enable this feature if booting to Windows NT.
Execute Memory Test
(some models)
Restarts the computer and executes the POST memory test.
BIOS Power-On
Allows you to set the computer to turn on automatically at a time you specify.
Onboard Devices
Allows you to set resources for or disable onboard system devices (serial port or parallel port).
PCI Devices
Lists currently installed PCI devices and their IRQ settings.
Allows you to reconfigure IRQ settings for these devices or to disable them entirely. These
settings have no effect under an ACPI-based operating system.
PCI VGA Configuration
Displayed only if there are one or more PCI graphics controllers in the system and the integrated
video is enabled. Allows you to specify which VGA controller will be the “boot” or primary VGA
controller.
Bus Options
On some models, allows you to enable or disable:
PCI SERR# generation.
PCI VGA palette snooping, which sets the VGA palette snooping bit in PCI configuration space;
only needed when more than one graphics controller is installed.
Device Options
Allows you to set:
Printer mode (Bi-Directional, EPP + ECP, Output Only).
Num Lock
state at power-on (off/on).
S5 Wake on LAN (enable/disable).
To disable Wake on LAN during the off state (S5), use the arrow (left and right) keys to
set the
S5 Wake on LAN
feature to
Disable
. This obtains the lowest power consumption
available on the computer during S5. It does not affect the ability of the computer to Wake
on LAN from suspend or hibernation, but will prevent it from waking from S5 via the
network. It does not affect operation of the network connection while the computer is on.
If a network connection is not required, completely disable the network controller (NIC) by
using the arrow (left and right) keys to select the
Security
>
Device Security
menu. Set
the
Network Controller
option to
Device Hidden
. This prevents the network controller
from being used by the operating system and reduces the power used by the computer
in S5.
Processor cache (enable/disable).
Integrated Video (enable/disable) Allows you to use integrated video and PCI Up Solution video
at the same time (available on some models only).
Internal speaker (some models) (enable/disable) (does not affect external speakers)
