Menu Item Description
When enabled, In-System Characterization (ISC)
runs during POST upon detecting relevant
change(s) in system configuration to optimize
system power and performance. ISC takes about
20 seconds to run, and system reset is required for
ISC results to be applied. The Enabled - No Reboot
option runs ISC and continues without applying
ISC results until the next time system reset occurs.
The Enabled option runs 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 run.
