Chapter 2 System Setup

This chapter provides you with the information on hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components

and follow the installation procedures. For some

components, if you install in the wrong orientation, the

components will not work properly.

Use a grounded wrist strap before handling data machine components. Static electricity may damage

the components.

Important

• Always unplug the power cord before installing any components.

• When the operating temperature reaches 40oC or higher, please replace your HDD with SSD (SolidState Drive) or other types of heat-resistant HDD to protect your HDD from being damaged by high temperature.

▍ System Setup

Installation Tools

A Phillips (crosshead) screwdriver and a athead screwdriver, can be used to do most of the installation. Choose one with a magnetic head would be better.

Pliers, can be used as an auxiliary tool to connect some

connectors or cables.

Forceps, can be used to pick up tiny screws or set up the jumpers.

Rubber gloves, can prevent yourself from being incised and su󰀨ering the static charge.

Chapter 3 BIOS Setup

This chapter provides information on the BIOS Setup program and allows you to congure the system for

optimum use.

You may need to run the Setup program when:

■ An error message appears on the screen

during the system booting up, and requests you to run SETUP.

■ You want to change the default settings for

customized features.

Important

• Please note that BIOS update assumes technician-

level experience.

• As the system BIOS is under continuous update for better system performance, the illustrations in this chapter should be held for reference only.

▍ BIOS Setup

Entering Setup

Power on the data machine and the system will start POST (Power On Self Test) process. When the message below appears on the screen, press <DEL> or <F2> key to enter Setup.

Press <DEL> or <F2> to enter SETUP

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by turning it OFF and On or pressing the RESET button. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys.

Important

The items under each BIOS category described in this chapter are under continuous update for better system performance. Therefore, the description may be slightly dierent from the latest BIOS and should be held for reference only.

▶ Full Screen Logo Display

This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST messages with the motherboard or system manufacturer’s full-screen logo.

When it is enabled, the BIOS will display the full-screen logo during the boot-up sequence, hiding normal POST messages.

When it is disabled, the BIOS will display the normal POST messages, instead of the full-screen logo.

Please note that enabling this BIOS feature often adds 2-3 seconds of delay to the booting sequence. This delay ensures that the logo is displayed for a su󰀩cient amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this BIOS feature for a faster boot-up time.

▶ Bootup NumLock State

This setting is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on. Setting to [On] will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered on. Setting to [O󰀨] will allow users to use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad.

▶ Option ROM Messages

This item is used to determine the display mode when an optional ROM is initialized during POST. When set to [Force BIOS], the display mode used by AMI BIOS is used. Select [Keep Current] if you want to use the display mode of optional ROM.

MS-9A69

▶ CPU Conguration

▶ Hyper-Threading

The 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.

▶ Active Processor Cores

This setting species the number of active processor cores.

▶ Execute Disable Bit

Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious “bu󰀨er overow” attacks when combined with a supporting operating

system. This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory

by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the bu󰀨er, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.

▶ Intel Virtualization Technology

Virtualization enhanced by Intel Virtualization Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple “Virtual” systems.

▍ BIOS Setup

▶ EIST

EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which can result in decreased average power consumption and decreased average heat production. When disabled, the processor will return the actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor when queried.

▶ Super IO Conguration

▶ Serial Port Console Redirection

▶ Console Redirection

Console Redirection operates in host systems that do not have a monitor and keyboard attached. This setting enables/disables the operation of console redirection. When set to [Enabled], BIOS redirects and sends all contents that should be displayed on the screen to the serial COM port for display on the terminal screen. Besides, all data received from the serial port is inter-

preted as keystrokes from a local keyboard.

▶ VT-d

Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) provides the capability to ensure improved isolation of I/O resources for greater reliability, security, and availability.

▶ DVMT Pre-Allocated

This setting denes the DVMT pre-allocated memory. Pre-allocated memory is the small amount of system memory made available at boot time by the system BIOS for video. Pre-allocated memory is also known as locked memory. This is because it is “locked” for video use only and as such, is invisible and unable to be used by the operating system.

▶ DVMT Total Gfx Mem

This setting species the memory size for DVMT.

▶ Primary IGFX Boot Display

Use the eld to select the type of device you want to use as the display(s)

of the system.

▶ LCD Panel Type

This setting allows you to set the resolution of the LCD display.

Power

▶ Restore AC Power Loss

This setting species whether your system will reboot after a power failure or interrupt occurs. Available settings are:

[Power O󰀨] Leaves the computer in the power o󰀨 state.

[Power On] Leaves the computer in the power on state.

[Last State] Restores the system to the previous status be-

▶ Deep S5

The setting enables/disables the Deep S5 power saving mode. S5 is almost the same as G3 Mechanical O󰀨, except that the PSU still supplies power, at a minimum, to the power button to allow return to S0. A full reboot is required. No previous content is retained. Other components may remain powered so the computer can “wake” on input from the keyboard, clock, modem, LAN, or USB device.

▶ USB from S3/S4

The item allows the activity of the USB device to wake up the system from S3/ S4 sleep state.

▶ OnChip GbE from S5

This eld species whether the system will be awakened from power saving modes when activity or input signal of onchip LAN is detected.

▶ PCIE PME

This eld species whether the system will be awakened from power saving modes when activity or input signal of onboard PCIE PME is detected.

▶ RTC

When [Enabled], your can set the date and time at which the RTC (real-time

clock) alarm awakens the system from suspend mode.
