Description
Enables or disables the Embedded NIC1 and NIC2. If set to Disabled (OS),
the NIC may still be available for shared network access by the embedded
management controller. Configure the Embedded NIC1 and NIC2 option
by using the NIC management utilities of the system. This option is set to
Enabled by default.
Enables or disables the I/O Acceleration Technology (I/OAT) option. I/OAT is
a set of DMA features designed to accelerate network traffic and lower CPU
utilization. Enable only if the hardware and software support the feature. This
option is set to Disabled by default.
Enables or disables the use of Embedded Video Controller as the primary
display. When set to Enabled, the Embedded Video Controller will be the
primary display even if add-in graphic cards are installed. When set to
Disabled, an add-in graphics card is used as the primary display. BIOS will
output displays to both the primary add-in video and the embedded video
during POST and preboot environment. The embedded video will then be
disabled right before the operating system boots. This option is set to Enabled
by default.
NOTE:
When there are multiple add-in graphic cards installed in the
system, the first card discovered during PCI enumeration is selected as
the primary video. You might have to rearrange the cards in the slots in
order to control which card is the primary video.
Selects the number of cycles PCI I/O can withhold snoop requests, from the
CPU, to allow time to complete its own write to LLC. This setting can help
improve performance on workloads where throughput and latency are critical.
The options available are 256 Cycles, 512 Cycles, 1K Cycles, 2K Cycles,
4K Cycles, 8K Cycles, 16K Cycles, 32K Cycles, 64K Cycles and 128K
Cycles.This option is set to 2K Cycles by default.
Displays the current state of the embedded video controller. The Current
State of Embedded Video Controller option is a read-only field. If the
Embedded Video Controller is the only display capability in the system (that
is, no add-in graphics card is installed), then the Embedded Video Controller
is automatically used as the primary display even if the Embedded Video
Controller setting is set to Disabled.
Enables or disables the BIOS configuration of Single Root I/O Virtualization
(SR-IOV) devices. This option is set to Disabled by default.
If your system stops responding, this watchdog timer aids in the recovery
of your operating system. When this option is set to Enabled, the operating
system initializes the timer. When this option is set to Disabled (the default),
the timer does not have any effect on the system.
Enables or disables the root ports of all the empty slots that are accessible to
the BIOS and operating system. This option is set to Disabled by default.
Enables or disables the support for the PCIe devices that need large amounts
of memory. Enable this option only for 64-bit operating systems. This option is
set to Enabled by default.
When set to 12 TB , the system maps the MMIO base to 12 TB. Enable this
option for an operating system that requires 44-bit PCIe addressing. When set
to 512 GB , the system maps the MMIO base to 512 GB, and reduces the
maximum support for memory to less than 512 GB. Enable this option only for
the 4 GPU DGMA issue. This option is set to 56 TB by default.
Enables or disables the available PCIe slots on your system. The slot
disablement feature controls the configuration of the PCIe cards installed in
the specified slot. Slots must be disabled only when the installed peripheral
card prevents booting into the operating system or causes delays in system
Pre-operating system management applications
