must press and hold the power button to power down the system. Cache Control: Select this choice to enable or disable the microprocessor cache. In addition, you can define the microprocessor cache type as write-back (WB) or write-through (WT). Selecting write-back mode will provide the maximum system performance. You can also enable or disable video BIOS caching, and define buffers for video and option ROM caching. PCI Slot/Device Information: Select this choice to view and identify system resources used by PCI devices. PCI devices automatically communicate with the server configuration information. This usually results in automatic configuration of a PCI device. If a conflict does occur, see "Resolving Configuration Conflicts" on page 36. Use the Up Arrow (↑) or Down Arrow (↓) key to highlight the assignment that you want to change and press Enter. Use the Left Arrow (←) or Right Arrow (→) key to select from the list of available choices. An asterisk (*) indicates that more than one device shares a slot. After making changes, you can select: Save Settings to save the selected changes. Restore Settings to delete the changes and restore the previous settings. Note You can use the menu selections to save settings or restore settings for the PCI Slot/Device Information choice only. The Configuration/Setup Utility main menu selections save settings, restore settings, or load default settings for all other choices, but not the PCI Slot/Device Information choice. The server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI devices. Because of this technique, you can install a variety of PCI devices that currently do not support sharing of PCI interrupts (IRQs). Multiple-function PCI devices use more than one interrupt. Memory Settings: Select this choice to manually disable or enable a bank of memory. If a memory error is detected during POST or memory configuration, the server can automatically disable the failing memory bank and continue operating with reduced memory capacity. If this occurs, you must manually enable the memory bank after the problem is corrected. Select Memory Settings from the Advanced Setup menu; then use the Up Arrow (↑) or Down Arrow (↓) key to highlight the bank that you want to enable. Use the Left Arrow (←) or Right Arrow (→) key to select Enable. Netfinity 7000-M10 - Type 8680 33
