Main Menu The Main Menu contains the following options: • BIOS Version: This view-only field displays your current BIOS version. You can compare this to the most recent available BIOS located at . • Operating System: This field indicates the currently selected operating system. The BIOS needs this information to understand how to handle Plug-and-Play configuration and Quick Boot. If you are using several incompatible operating systems and don't want top modify this field every time you run a different one, select the default Other option. • Reset Configuration Data: When you reset configuration data, the BIOS dynamically reallocates resources (IRQs, I/O, memory) to cards and motherboard devices at the next boot. It then sets this field back to No. You would not select Yes and choose to reset your configuration data unless you were having problems with your workstation. • System Time: The system time format is based on a 24-hour clock. • System Date: The system date format is mm/dd/yyyy. Advanced Menu The Advanced menu contains the following functions and submenus: • Processor: Displays the type and speed of the workstation processor. To change your processor speed in the Processor Speed field, select a value from the drop-down menu. Your processor cannot run faster than what is displayed in the Current Type field. If you leave Processor Speed set to the default of Auto, the processor speed is automatically detected. Use a fixed frequency for troubleshooting only. • Chipset: - Memory Error Checking: You can choose between ECC and Disabled. ECC scrubbing checks for and corrects errors at the source to prevent them from recurring. Change this field to Disabled if you want to find errors, but don't want them corrected. - ECC Error Type: When an ECC error occurs, it generates an interrupt. In this field, you can select the type of interrupt you want reported: NMI (Non-Maskable), SMI (System Management), SCI, (System Control), or None. - SERR signal condition: You can select the type of ECC error condition that triggers a critical system error (SERR#). Normally, only Multiple bit (unrecoverable) errors should be able to trigger SERR#. But you can also choose Single bit, None, or Both. • Floppy Disk Drive: Contains the floppy disk drive type and controller fields. If you choose to disable your floppy disk drive, you must also disable your floppy disk controller. • IDE Devices: This submenu contains fields that let you configure the settings for the IDE controller and any attached IDE devices. • Integrated Network Interface: This submenu contains fields that let you configure the settings for the integrated 10.100BT network interface. These fields are identical to the Integrated SCSI Controller fields listed above.
