Device and I/O Ports
| Item | Options | Description |
| Onboard SATA Mode |
| Configure SATA as AHCI or RAID. Note This item is platform-dependent. |
| Onboard sSATA Mode |
| Configure sSATA as AHCI or RAID. Note This item is platform-dependent. |
| Active Video |
| This item is available only when the server has an add-in video adapter. When the option ROM is set to [Legacy] for both onboard and add-in video adapters, the Active Video setting controls which single adapter will display the System Setup utility. Onboard Device is the default setting. Regardless of this setting, the system boot early video is displayed at the onboard video only, and the management controller remote console shows the onboard video only. This setting does not affect how the OS displays its graphical desktop. |
| PCI 64-Bit Resource Allocation |
| Enable/Disable the allocation of 64-bit resources for PCI. Auto is the default setting. [Auto] mode allocates some resources below 4 GB for legacy compatibility. |
| MM Config Base |
| Recommend the default setting: 3GB. A greater value increases memory available to the OS (below 4 GB) and reduces the memory mapped I/O (MMIO) resource available to PCI adapters. Values smaller than 3 GB increases MMIO resources but reduces memory available to OS (below 4 GB). Revert to your previous selection if new issues occur with setting change. |
| Intel® VT for Direct I/O (VT-d) |
| Enable/Disable Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) by reporting the I/O device assignment to VMM through DMAR (DMA Remapping) ACPI Tables. Enabled is the default setting. |
| DMA Control Opt-In Flag |
| Enable/Disable DMA_CTRL_PLATFORM_OPT_IN_FLAG in DMAR (DMA Remapping) ACPI Table. Note
|
| SRIOV |
| Enable or Disable the support of resource allocation for virtual functions of Single Root I/O Virtualization(SR-IOV) during boot. |
| Enable/Disable Onboard Device(s) | N/A | Enable/Disable onboard devices or slots. |
| Enable/Disable Adapter Option ROM Support | N/A | Control Legacy and UEFI-compliant adapter support. Disabling UEFI/Legacy support may adversely affect pre-boot/boot functions. |
| Set Option ROM Execution Order | N/A | Control legacy ROM load order. |
| PCIe Gen Speed Selection | N/A | Choose the generation speed for available PCIe slots. |
| Override Slot Bifurcation | N/A | Override the slot bifurcation setting of the physical x16 slot to support the adapter with multiple devices. |
