Menu Item Description
System Time Enables you to set the time on the system.
System Date Enables you to set the date on the system.
Asset Tag Displays the asset tag and enables you to modify it
for security and tracking purposes.
Keyboard NumLock Enables you to set whether the system boots with
the NumLock enabled or disabled. By default the
Keyboard NumLock is set to On.
NOTE: This option does not apply to 84-key
keyboards.
F1/F2 Prompt on Error Enables or disables the F1/F2 prompt on error. By
default, F1/F2 Prompt on Error is set to Enabled.
The F1/F2 prompt also includes keyboard errors.
Load Legacy Video Option ROM Enables you to determine whether the system
BIOS loads the legacy video (INT 10H) option ROM
from the video controller. Selecting Enabled in the
operating system does not support UEFI video
output standards. This field is only for UEFI boot
mode. You cannot set this to
Enabled if UEFI
Secure Boot mode is enabled.
In-System Characterization This option enables or disables In-System
Characterization. By default, In-System
Characterization is set to Disabled. The two other
options are Enabled and Enabled - No Reboot.
NOTE: The default setting for In-System
Characterization is subject to change in
future BIOS releases.
When enabled, In-System Characterization (ISC)
executes during POST upon detecting relevant
change(s) in system configuration to optimize
system power and performance. ISC takes about
20 seconds to execute, and system reset is
required for ISC results to be applied. The Enabled
- No Reboot option executes ISC and continues
without applying ISC results until the next time
system reset occurs. The Enabled option executes
ISC and forces an immediate system reset so that
ISC results can be applied. It takes the system
longer to be ready due to the forced system reset.
When disabled, ISC does not execute.
