Use the right and left arrow keys to highlight an option. Press to make that selection active. Scroll up and down the list with the up- and down-arrow keys. As an option is highlighted, the Option Field displays more information about that option and the option's current and available settings. By pressing or the left and right arrow keys, you can toggle between a primary topic (collapsed) and subtopics (expanded). Key Functions — This field appears below the Option Field and lists keys and their functions within the active system setup field. System Setup Options NOTE: Depending on your computer and installed devices, the items listed in this section may not appear, or may not appear exactly as listed. System System Info Displays the System name, BIOS Version number, Service Tag, Express Service Code, and Asset Tag. NOTE: The system name listed in the BIOS may not appear exactly as the name that appears on the computer or in the computer's documentation. Processor Info Displays the following information for the processor installed in the system: Processor Type, Processor Clock Speed, Processor Bus Speed, Processor Cache Size, Processor ID number, whether the processor is Hyperthreading or Multiple Core Capable, and if the processor has 64-bit Technology. Memory Info Displays the amount of Installed Memory, Memory Speed, Memory Channel Mode, and a description of the Memory Technology. This option also displays a table that describes the memory size, whether the memory module is ECC capable, single or dual rank, type, and organization. PCI Info Displays the contents of each PCI slot. Date/Time Controls the system's internal calendar and clock. Boot Sequence Determines the order in which the system searches for boot devices during system startup. NOTE: If you insert a boot device and restart the computer, this option appears in the system setup menu. To boot from a USB memory device, select the USB device and move it so it becomes the first device in the list. Drives DDiriskveette Enables and disables the floppy drives and sets read permission for the internal floppy drive. Off disables all floppy drives. USB enables the USB floppy drive. Internal (the default setting) enables the internal floppy drive. Read Only enables the internal drive controller and allows the internal floppy drive readonly permission. NOTE: Operating systems with USB support will recognize USB floppy drives regardless of this setting. StAhTrAou Dgrhi v3es 0 Enables or disables a SATA device (such as a hard-drive). On (the default setting) enables the interface so that the device can be used. Displays the Controller type (SATA), Port number the drive is using, Drive ID number, Capacity, Link Speed, and whether the drive is controlled by the BIOS. PtAhTrAou Dgrhi v1es 0 Enables or disables an ATA device (such as a CD or DVD drive). On (the default setting) enables the interface so that the device can be used. Displays the Controller type (ATA), Port number the drive is using, Drive ID number, Capacity, Link Speed, and whether the drive is controlled by the BIOS. SATA Operation Determines the integrated SATA controller's operating mode: RAID Autodetect/ AHCI (the default setting) – RAID if the drives are signed, otherwise AHCI RAID Autodetect/ ATA – RAID if the drives are signed, otherwise ATA RAID On – SATA is configured for RAID on every boot. Onboard Devices INInCtegrated Controller You can set the NIC to On (default), Off, or On w/ PXE. When the On w/ PXE setting is active (available only for the future boot process), the computer prompts you to press . Pressing this key combination causes a menu to display that allows you to select a method for booting from a network server. If a boot routine is not available from the network server, the computer attempts to boot from the next device in the boot sequence list. AInudteigorated Controller Enables or disables the onboard audio controller. CUSoBntroller Set to On (default) so that USB devices will be detected and supported in the operating system. FUSlBex Bfaoyr This field enables and disables the internal USB for FlexBay. Off = Internal USB for FlexBay is disabled. On = Internal USB for FlexBay is enabled. No Boot = Internal USB for FlexBay is enabled but not bootable. The factory default setting is No Boot. NOTE: This USB option appears only if a FlexBay device is installed. Video Primary Video This setting specifies which video controller is primary, PCI or PEG. NOTE: This only applies to a PCI video controller installed in the 32-bit, 33 MHz, PCI expansion slot. Settings are reversed if a PCI video controller is installed in a 64-bit PCIx expansion slot. Performance CMoulretiple CPU This setting specifies whether more than one core is enabled. The performance of some applications may improve with an additional core enabled. The default is On (second core enabled). SpeedStep If applicable, Intel SpeedStep® appears in the Options List under Performance. Hyp...
