Table 5-5 Computer Setup—Advanced (for advanced users) (continued)
●
Multi-Processor (enable/disable). Use this option to disable multi-processor support under the OS.
Default is enabled.
●
Hyper threading (enable/disable). Use this option to disable processor hyper-threading.
●
Turbo Mode (enable/disable). Allows you to enable and disable the Intel Turbo Mode feature, which
allows one core of the system to run at a higher than standard frequency and power if other cores
are idle. Default is enabled.
VGA Configuration Displayed only if there is an add-in video card in the system. Allows you to specify which VGA controller
will be the “boot” or primary VGA controller.
Option ROM Launch
Policy
Let you set the launch policy for option ROMs. An Option ROM typically consists of firmware that is called
by the system BIOS. For example, an adapter card that controls a boot device might contain firmware that
is used to connect the device to the system once the Option ROM is loaded.
●
PXE Option ROMs (legacy only/EFI only/do not launch)
●
Storage Option ROMs (legacy only/EFI only/do not launch)
●
Video Option ROMs (legacy only/EFI only)
●
NetClone Option ROMs (legacy only/do not launch)
AMT Configuration Allows you to set:
●
AMT (enable/disable). Allows you to enable or disable functions of the embedded Management
Engine (ME) such as Active Management Technology (AMT). If set to disable, the Management
Engine is set to a temporarily disabled state and will not provide functions beyond necessary
system configuration. Default is enabled.
●
Unconfigure AMT/ME (enable/disable). Allows you to unconfigure any provisioned management
settings for AMT. The AMT settings are restored to factory defaults. This feature should be used
with caution as AMT will not be able to provide any set AMT management functions once
unconfigured. Default is disabled.
●
Hide Unconfigure ME Confirmation Prompt (enable/disable). Allows you to set the system to not
display the confirmation to unconfigure ME.
●
Watchdog Timer (enable/disable). Allows you to set amount of time for a operating system and
BIOS watchdog alert to be sent if the timers are not deactivated. BIOS watchdog is deactivated by
BIOS and would indicate that a halt occurred during execution if the alert is sent to the management
console. An operating system alert is deactivated by the operating system image and would indicate
that a hang occurred during its initialization. Default is enabled.
Recovering the Configuration Settings
This method of recovery requires that you first perform the Save to Removable Media command with the
Computer Setup (F10) Utility before Restore is needed. (See
Computer Setup—File on page 63 in the
Computer Setup—File table.)
NOTE: It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a USB flash media
device and save the device for possible future use.
To restore the configuration, insert the USB flash media device with the saved configuration and perform the
Restore from Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. (See
Computer Setup—File
on page 63 in the Computer Setup—File table.)
