Table 6 Computer Setup-Advanced (for advanced users) (continued) ● Monitor Tracking (enable/disable). Allows BIOS to save monitor asset information. ● 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 will be to have the NIC option-ROM-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 Save to Removable Media on page 3 in the Computer Setup-File table.) NOTE: It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a a USB flash media device or a diskette-like device (a storage device set to emulate a diskette drive) and save the diskette or device for possible future use. To restore the configuration, insert the USB flash media device or a diskette-like device (a storage device set to emulate a diskette drive) with the saved configuration and perform the Restore from Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. (See Restore from Removable Media on page 3 in the Computer Setup-File table.) 12 Computer Setup (F10) Utility ENWW
