[. . . ] Once the CPU has reached a safe operating temperature, thermal throttling is automatically disabled, and normal full speed processing begins again. Set Max Ext CPUID = 3 This setting sets the Max CPUID extended function value to 3. C1 Enhanced Mode This item allows you to enable/disable the C1E power management feature (for E0 CPU or later) which can drop clock speed and voltage on the processor. Intel(R) Virtualization Technology Virtualization enhanced by Intel Virtualization Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple "virtual" systems. No Execute Mode Mem Protection This item allows you to enable/disable the No Execute Mode Mem Protection feature which can mark pages of memory as not executable, thus preventing certain types of buffer overflow attacks. Processor Power M anagement This setting offers power management options for the processor. [Disabled] C States and GV1/GV3 are disabled. [GV1/GV3 Only] C States are disabled. 3-12 BIOS Setup Hardware M onitor Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears: Auto Fan Speed Control This item enables/disables the Smart Fan feature. Smart Fan is an excellent feature which will adjust the CPU fan speed automatically depending on the CPU current temperature, avoiding system damage caused by overheating. V(VCC5), V(Vcore), V(VCC3), V(V_1P5), V(12V), V(3Vsb), CPU/ SYS Temperature, CPU Fan/ SYS Fan1/ SYS Fan2 Speed These items display the current status of all of the monitored hardware devices/components such as CPU voltage, temperatures and all fans' speeds. 3-13 M S-9218 Server I/O Device Configuration The sub-menu is used to configure I/O Devices for optimal system performance. Integrated Device Control Sub-M enu The sub-menu is used to configure the specified integrated device. Legacy USB Support Set to [Enabled] if your need to use any USB 1. 1/2. 0 device in the operating system that does not support or have any USB 1. 1/2. 0 driver installed, such as DOS and SCO Unix. 3-14 BIOS Setup Serial Port A/B These settings specify the base I/O port addresses of the onboard Serial Port A / B. Selecting [Auto] allows BIOS to automatically determine the correct base I/ O port address. Parallel Port Setting to [Enabled] allows users to configure the base I/O address and IRQ for the parallel port manually. Mode Select an operating mode for the onboard parallel (printer) port. [Output Only]: Standard Parallel Port [EPP]: Enhanced Parallel Port [ECP]: Extended Capability Port [Bi-Directional]: SPP Duplex Mode To operate the onboard parallel port as Standard Parallel Port only, choose [O utput O nly]. To operate the onboard parallel port in the EPP mode simultaneously, choose [EPP]. By choosing [ECP], the onboard parallel port will operate in ECP mode only. Choosing [Bi-Dir] will allow the onboard parallel port to support SPP duplex mode. Base I/O address This setting specifies the base I/O port addresses of the onboard parallel port. Please note that this setting will not be available when the parallel port is set to [EPP] mode. Interrupt It specifies the interrupt for the parallel port. Floppy Disk Controller The item is used to enable or disable the onboard Floppy controller. [. . . ] l The ACU allows you to use drives of different sizes in a RAID 1. During a build operation however, only the smaller drive can be selected as the source or first drive. l When migrating from single volume to RAID 0, migrating from a larger drive to a smaller drive is allowed. However the destination drive must be at least half the capacity of the source drive. [. . . ]
