BIOS Setup Advanced ▶ PCI Subsystem Settings Press to enter the sub-menu. ▶ PCI Latency Timer Controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another takes over. When set to higher values, every PCI device can conduct transactions for a longer time and thus improve the effective PCI bandwidth. ▶ ACPI Settings Press to enter the sub-menu. ▶ ACPI Standby State Specifies the power saving mode for ACPI function [Suspend Disabled] Disable the suspend mode. [S3] Suspend to RAM. Turns off hardware. (Recommended) ▶ Power LED Configures how the system uses power LEDs on the case to indicate sleep/ suspend state. [Dual] The power LED changes its color to indicate the sleep/suspend state. [Blinking] The power LED blinks to indicate the sleep/suspend state. ▶ Integrated Peripherals Press to enter the sub-menu. ▶ Onboard LAN Controller This item allows you to enable/ disable the onboard LAN controller. ▶ LAN Option ROM This item is used to decide whether to invoke the Boot ROM of the onboard LAN. ▶ Network Stack This item is used to enable/ disable UEFI network stack. ▶ SATA Mode This item is used to specify RAID/ IDE/ AHCI mode for SATA port. Important • Windows XP is not natively supported to be installed in the storage device with AHCI mode. If you still prefer to install Windows XP as the operating system, please refer to Appendix Install Windows XP Notes. • You cannot switch between AHCI and IDE if you already have your operating system installed. ▶ HD Audio Controller This item allows you to enable/ disable the HD audio controller. ▶ HPET The HPET (High Precision Event Timers) is a component that is part of the chipset.

PCI Subsystem Sett±ngs
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.
PCI Latency T±mer
Controls how long each PCI dev±ce can hold the bus before another takes over.
When set to h±gher values, every PCI dev±ce can conduct transact±ons for a longer
t±me and thus ±mprove the effect±ve PCI bandw±dth.
ACPI Sett±ngs
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.
ACPI Standby State
Spec±fies the power sav±ng mode for ACPI funct±on
[Suspend D±sabled]
D±sable the suspend mode.
[S3]
Suspend to RAM. Turns off hardware. (Recommended)
Power LED
Configures how the system uses power LEDs on the case to ±nd±cate sleep/
suspend state.
[Dual]
The power LED changes ±ts color to ±nd±cate the sleep/suspend
state.
[Bl±nk±ng]
The power LED bl±nks to ±nd±cate the sleep/suspend state.
Integrated Per±pherals
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.
Onboard LAN Controller
Th±s ±tem allows you to enable/ d±sable the onboard LAN controller.
LAN Opt±on ROM
Th±s ±tem ±s used to dec±de whether to ±nvoke the Boot ROM of the onboard LAN.
Network Stack
Th±s ±tem ±s used to enable/ d±sable UEFI network stack.
SATA Mode
Th±s ±tem ±s used to spec±fy RAID/ IDE/ AHCI mode for SATA port.
Important
W±ndows XP ±s not nat±vely supported to be ±nstalled ±n the storage dev±ce w±th AHCI
mode. If you st±ll prefer to ±nstall W±ndows XP as the operat±ng system, please refer
to Append±x Install W±ndows XP Notes.
You cannot sw±tch between AHCI and IDE ±f you already have your operat±ng system
±nstalled.
HD Aud±o Controller
Th±s ±tem allows you to enable/ d±sable the HD aud±o controller.
HPET
The HPET (H±gh Prec±s±on Event T±mers) ±s a component that ±s part of the ch±pset.
You can enable ±t, and w±ll prov±de you w±th the means to get to ±t v±a the var±ous
