Decode:
Most Plug and Play adapters use
16-bit address decoding.
If you are
experiencing problems with a Plug and Play
adapter, changing the address decode
setting to 10-bit might fix the problem.
Plug
and Play Operating System:
Select Yes for
this option if you are experiencing POST
errors numbered 185x and your startup
operating system is Plug and Play compliant.
See your operating system documentation to
determine if your operating system supports
this function.
Processor Speed Control, Processor ID, Processor
Updating, Processor Serial Number
Access.
If you install a microprocessor, use
this option to set the microprocessor speed.
Ensure that you set the correct speed.
If
you select a speed that is faster than the
microprocessor supports, unpredictable
results might occur.
The Processor ID is
displayed.
Enabling or disabling Processor
Updating determines whether the BIOS will
apply microprocessor updates when the
server starts.
Enabling or disabling
Processsor Serial Number Access
determines whether the microprocessor
serial number can be accessed (queried) by
websites on your intranet or the internet.
For
example, you would enable this function if
your company uses it to track assets.
