User Accessible USB Ports
|
Configures the user accessible USB ports.
- Only Back Ports On disables the front USB ports.
- All Ports Off disables all front and back USB ports.
- Only Back Ports On disables the front USB ports.
- All Ports Off (Dynamic) disables all front and back USB ports during POST.
- All Ports On (default) enables all front and back USB ports.
- Enable Front Ports Only: Enables or disables the front USB ports during the operating system runtime.
When user accessible USB ports are set to
All Ports Off (Dynamic) the
Enable Front Ports Only option is enabled.
|
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 are enabled or disabled as per the setting.
|
Internal USB Port
|
Enables or disables the internal USB port. This option is set to
On (default) or
Off.
The Internal USB port is on the PCIe riser 1b. The internal USB port is only supported for T150.
|
iDRAC Direct USB Port
|
The iDRAC Direct USB port is managed by iDRAC with no host visibility. This option is set to
ON (default) or
OFF. When set to
OFF, iDRAC does not detect any USB devices that are installed in this managed port.
|
I/OAT DMA Engine
|
Enables or disables (default) the I/O Acceleration Technology (I/OAT) option. I/OAT is a set of DMA features designed to accelerate network traffic and lower CPU use. Enable only if the hardware and software support the feature.
|
Embedded Video Controller
|
Enables (default) 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 is disabled before the operating system boots.
When there are multiple add-in graphic cards that are installed in the system, the first card that is 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.
|
Embedded NIC1, NIC2, NIC3 and NIC4
|
Enables (default) or disables the operating system interface of the embedded NIC1, NIC2, NIC3, and NIC4 controller.
NOTE:If set to
Disabled, the embedded NICs may still be available for shared network access by the embedded management controller. This function must be configured using the NIC management utilities that are provided with your system.
|
I/O Snoop HoldOff Response
|
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. This option is set to
2K Cycles by default.
|
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 (default) the BIOS configuration of Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) devices.
|
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 (default), the timer does not have any effect on the system.
|
Empty Slot Unhide
|
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.
|
Slot Disablement
|
No slots are present in this system.
|
Slot Bifurcation
|
Auto Discovery Bifurcation Settings allows
Platform Default Bifurcation,Auto Discovery of Bifurcation, and
Manual bifurcation Control.
|
This option is set to
Platform Default Bifurcation by default. The slot bifurcation field is accessible when set to
Manual bifurcation Control and is disabled when set to
Platform Default Bifurcation and
Auto Discovery of Bifurcation.
NOTE: The slot bifurcation supports on PCIe slot only, does not support slot type from Paddle card to Riser and Slimline connector to Riser.
