(Default setting) 1 2-3 Close: Force to Stop FRB3 Timer. 30/31) SATA_DOM0/SATA_DOM1 (SATA DOM Jumpers) CAUTION!If a SATA type hard drive is connected to the motherboard, please ensure the jumper is closed and set to 2-3 pins (Normal mode), in order to reduce any risk of hard disk damage. 1 1-2 Close: Enable SATA port 0 and SATA port 1 DOM support. 1 2-3 Close: Normal mode. (Default setting) SATA_DOM0 SATA_DOM1 Pin No. 1 2 3 Definition P5V GND GND Hardware Installation - 32 - Chapter 2 BIOS Setup BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the EFI on the motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup, saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows the user to modify basic system configuration settings or to activate certain system features. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to keep the configuration values in the CMOS. To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <F2> key during the POST when the power is turned on. • BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems of using the current BIOS version, it is recommended that you don't flash the BIOS. • It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system instability or other unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's failure to boot. If this occurs, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values. Default setting is Auto.

Processor Cores Intel HT Technology Intel VT-x Technology Cache Information L1 Data Cache L1 Code Cache L2 Cache L3 Cache Display the information of L1 Data Cache. When enabled, the processor will limit the maximum COUID input values to 03h when queried, even if the processor suppports a higher CPUID input value. When disabled, the processor will return the actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor when queried. Default setting is Disabled. CPU Speed 64-bit Active Processor Cores (Note) Limit CPUID Maximum (Note) This item is present only if you install a CPU that supports this feature.

When disabled, the processor will not restrict code execution in any memory area. [. . . ] By default, the server searches for boot devices in the following secquence: 1. UEFI device. Press Enter to configure the boot priority. Network Device BBS Priorities Hard Drive BBS Priorities Bootup Configuration Bootup NumLock State Quiet Boot Enable or Disable Bootup NumLock function. Default setting is Enabled. BIOS Setup - 66 - Interrupt 19 Capture Interrupt 19 is the software interrupt that handles the boot disk function. When enabled, this BIOS feature allows the ROM BIOS of those host adaptors to "capture" Interrupt 19 during the boot process so that drives attached to these adaptors can function as bootable disks.
