Table 3-1 Computer Setup (F10) Utility menu descriptions (continued) Heading Option Description ● F12 Prompt (Displayed or Hidden)-Selecting Displayed displays F12=Network Service Boot during POST. Selecting Hidden prevents the text from being displayed but pressing F12 still forces the system to attempt booting from the network. ● Factory Recovery Boot Support (Enable or Disable)-Recovery partition hard disk drive (HDD) option available. The Vista factory setting has this support enabled. ● Option ROM prompt* (Enable or Disable)-Enabling this feature causes the system to display a message before loading options ROMs. ● Remote Wakeup Boot Source-Enables you to set the remote wakeup boot source as: ◦ Local Hard Drive ◦ Remote Server ● After Power Loss (On, Off, Previous State)-Enabling this option directs the previous state to be the default. ● POST Delay (in seconds) (5, 10, 15, 20, None)-Adds a specified delay to the POST process. This delay is sometimes needed for hard drives on some PCI cards that spin up slowly (so slowly that they are not ready to boot by the time POST is finished). The POST delay also gives you time to select F10 to enter the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. ● Setup Browse Mode (Enable/Disable)-Enables or disables browse mode setup. BIOS Power-On Enables you to disable or specify a weekday and time for BIOS power-on. Processors Provides these options: ● Multi Core Support (Enable or Disable)-Select a single core or multiple cores per socket. ● Limit CPUID Maximum Value to 3 (Enable or Disable)-Sets the number of allowable CPU IDs.

Operating system parameters generally override Onboard Devices settings. Chipset/ Memory Provides these options: ● PCI SERR# Generation (Enable or Disable)-Controls PCI SERR# generation for ill-behaved PCI add-in cards (that can generate SERR# spuriously). ● PCI VGA Palette Snooping (Enable or Disable)-Controls PCI VGA Palette Snooping for compatibility purposes. ● MCH Error Handling-Sets the following signals to use on serious MCH (North Bridge) errors: ◦ SMI, which is handled by the BIOS and causes a reboot. ◦ NMI and Machne-Check Error, which are handled by the operating system and cause a crash. ◦ Ignore. ● Memory Write Combining (Enable or Disable)-Implements special caching for rapid I/O. ● PCIe Lane Allocation (SLOT4:SOT5)-Defines the number of lanes assigned to a slot: ◦ Auto ◦ x16:x1 ◦ x8:x8 30 Chapter 3 System management ENWW
