CPU Hyper-Threading The Intel® Xeon™ processor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transaction rates and reduces end-user response times. The technology treats the two cores inside the processor as two logical processors that can execute instructions simultaneously. In this way, the system performance is highly improved. If you disable the function, the processor will use only one core to execute the instructions. Settings: Enabled, Disabled. First/Second/Third Boot Device The items allow you to set the sequence of boot devices where BIOS attempts to load the disk operating system. The settings are: Floppy The system will boot from floppy drive. LS120 The system will boot from LS-120 drive. HDD-0 The system will boot from the first HDD. SCSI The system will boot from the SCSI.
