Table 3-1 Computer Setup (F10) Utility menu descriptions (continued) Heading Option Description When enabled, displays F10=Setup during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed but pressing F10 still accesses the Setup screen. F12 prompt (enable/disable) When enabled, displays F12=Network Service Boot during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the text from being displayed, but pressing F12 still forces the system to attempt booting from the network. Option ROM* Prompt (enable/disable) When enabled, causes the system to display a message before loading options ROMs. Remote Wakeup Boot Source Enables you to specify which wakeup boot source device to remove. After Power Loss In the event of an AC power loss, determines what the computer's behavior should be when power is restored. Options are Off (stay off), On (turn on immediately), and Previous State (if the computer was on when power was lost, power on immediately; if it was off, stay off). POST Delay (in seconds) Specifies a delay during POST. This setting may be necessary for certain add-in peripherals that respond slowly of violate specifications. For instance, disk drives are supposed to spin within 15 seconds, but some older drives might take longer. Options are None, 5, 10, 15, 20. Setup Browse Mode Enables viewing Setup Options without entering Setup password. Enable allows you to view Setup in read-only mode if you do not enter the Setup password. Disable blocks Setup entirely if you do not enter the Setup password. BIOS PowerOn Enables you to disable or specify a weekday and time for BIOS power-on. Processors Hyper-Threading (enable/disable) Reports logical processors to ACPI-capable operating systems. NOTE: This field appears only if the installed processors support hyper-threading. Limit CPUID Maximum value to 3 (enable/disable) Instructs the processors not to report their full capabilities using the CPUID instruction. Useful for legacy systems. Onboard Devices Selects the legacy devices' interrupt (IRQ), DMA channel, and I/O range. It can also disable the devices. The values are strictly valid for boot time only-a plug-and-play operating system can change them. Windows XP and Linux will not modify these values under default settings. To hide a device from the operating system, see the Security>Device Security options in this table. Serial Port Enables you to set I/O and interrupt (IRQ) for the device. Parallel Port Enables you to set I/O, IRQ, and DMA channel for the device. Diskette Controller Enables you to set I/O, IRQ, and DMA channel for the device. ENWW Computer Setup (F10) Utility 29
