[. . . ] Submenu Help While in a submenu, press <F1> to display a help screen (General Help) of function keys available for the menu. Press <Esc> to exit the help screen. Help for each item is in the Item Help block on the right side of the submenu. · If you do not find the settings you want in the Main Menu or a submenu, press <Ctrl>+<F1> to access more advanced options. · When the system is not stable as usual, select the Load Optimized Defaults item to set your system to its defaults. · The BIOS Setup menus described in this chapter are for reference only and may differ by BIOS version. - 31 - BIOS Setup BIOS Version BIOS Build Date Display version number of the BIOS setup utility. Displays the date when the BIOS setup utility was created. Processor Information: CPU Type / CPU Core Frequency / CPU Count Memory Displays the technical specifications for the installed processor. Determines how much total memory is present during the POST. Set the date following the weekday-month-day- year format. Set the system time following the hour-minute- second format. System Date System Time BIOS Setup - 32 - 2-2 Advanced Menu The Advanced menu display submenu options for configuring the function of various hardware components. Select a submenu item, then press Enter to access the related submenu screen. - 33 - BIOS Setup 2-2-1 ProcessorConfiguration BIOS Setup - 34 - Intel Hyper Threading Technology The Intel Hyper Threading Technology allows a single processor to execute two or more separate threads concurrently. When hyper-threading is enabled, multi-threaded software applications can execute their threads, thereby improving performance. Default setting is Enabled. Active Processor Cores (Note) Allows you to determine whether to enable all CPU cores. When this item enabled, the processor prevents the execution of code in data-only memory pages. This provides some protection against buffer overflow attacks. Select whether to enable the Intel Virtualization Technology function. VT allows a single platform to run multiple operating systems in independent partitions. Intel Advanced Encryption Standard Instructions (AES-NI), is a symmetric block cipher that encrypts/ decrypts data through several rounds. AES-NI can be used to accelerate the performance of an implementation of AES by 3 to 10x over a completely software implementation. Conventional Intel SpeedStep Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load. Default setting is Enabled. Execute Disable Bit Capability Intel Virtualization Technology Intel AES-NI Support (Intel Advanced Encryption Standard Instructions) Intel EIST Support (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) - 35 - BIOS Setup P-State Coordination In HW_ALL mode, the processor hardware is responsible for coordinating the P-state among logical processors dependencies. The OS is responsible for keeping the P-state request up to date on all logical processors. [. . . ] Optical Disk Drive Priority Press Enter to configure the boot priority.
