The Integrated Devices screen details are explained as follows:
Option
Description
User Accessible USB Ports
Configures the user accessible USB ports. Selecting Only Back Ports On disables the front USB ports; selecting All Ports Off disables all front and back USB ports; selecting All Ports Off (Dynamic) All Ports On disables all front and back USB ports during POST and front ports can be enabled or disabled dynamically by authorized users without resetting the system
The USB keyboard and mouse still function in certain USB
ports during the boot process, depending on the selection. After the
boot process is complete, the USB ports will be enabled or disabled
as per the setting.
Internal USB Port
Enables or disables the internal USB port. This option
is set to On or Off. This option is set to On by default.
Integrated RAID Controller
Enables or disables the integrated RAID controller.
This option is set to Enabled by default.
Embedded NIC1 and NIC2
NOTE: The Embedded NIC1 and NIC2 options are only available on systems
that do not have Integrated Network Card 1.
Enables or disables the Embedded NIC1 and NIC2 options. If set to Disabled (OS), the NIC may still be available for shared network
access by the embedded management controller. The embedded NIC1 and
NIC2 options are only available on systems that do not have Network
Daughter Cards (NDCs). The Embedded NIC1 and NIC2 option is mutually
exclusive with the Integrated Network Card 1 option. Configure the
Embedded NIC1 and NIC2 option by using the NIC management utilities
of the system.
Embedded Video Controller
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 will be used as the primary display. BIOS
will output displays to both the primary add-in video and the embedded
video during POST and pre-boot 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 re-arrange the cards in the slots in order to control which
card is the primary video.
Current State of Embedded Video Controller
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..
SR-IOV Global Enable
Enables or disables the BIOS configuration of Single
Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) devices. This option is set to Disabled by default.
OS Watchdog Timer
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.
Memory Mapped I/O Limit
Controls where MMIO is mapped. The 1 TB option is designed for specific OS which cannot support MMIO over
1 TB. This option is set to 8 TB by default.
The default option is the maximum address that the system supports
and recommended in most cases.
Slot Disablement
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 startup. If the slot is
disabled, both the Option ROM and UEFI drivers are disabled. Only
slots that are present on the system will be available for control.
Table 1. Slot DisablementThe table describes available PCIe slots on your
system.
Option
Description
Slot 1
Enables or disables
or only the boot driver is disabled for the PCIe slot 1. This option
is set to Enabled by default.
Slot 2
Enables or disables
or only the boot driver is disabled for the PCIe slot 2. This option
is set to Enabled by default.
Slot 3
Enables or disables or only the
boot driver is disabled for the PCIe slot 3. This option is set to Enabled by default.
Slot Bifurcation
Auto Discovery Bifurcation Settings allows Platform Default Bifurcation and Manual bifurcation Control.
The default
is set to Platform Default Bifurcation. The
slot bifurcation field is accessible when set to Manual
bifurcation Control and is grayed out when set to Platform Default Bifurcation.
Table 2. Slot BifurcationThe table describes slot bifurcation details of
your system.
