The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM. T he power of CMOS RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk. [. . . ] T he APIC provides multiprocessor support, more IRQs and faster interrupt handling. Options: Enabled (Default) / Disabled AMI OEMB table Set this value to allow the ACPI BIOS to add a pointer to an OEMB table in the Root System Description T able (RSD ) table. T Options: Enabled (Default) / Disabled 18 TPower X58/TPower X58A BIOS Manual Headless mode T his is a server-speci f feature. A headless server is one that operates without a ic keyboard, monitor or mouse. To run in headless mode, both BIOS and operating system (e. g. Windows Server 2003) must support headless operation.

Clear NV RAM T his item allows you to clear the data in the NVRAM (CMOS) by selecting "Yes". Options: No (Default) / Yes Plug & P lay OS When set to YES, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for the boot sequen ce (VGA, IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating system like WindowTM 95. When set to NO, BIOS will initialize all the PnP cards. For non-PnP operating systems (DOS, NetwareTM), this option must set to NO.
