Overview
- See what is BIOS
- IPC2 based on Phoenix Technologies BIOS.
- BIOS can be accessed by pressing F2 during power up cycle.
- For BIOS reset instructions refer to IPC2 troublshooting
BIOS Menu
Main
The screen provides date, time and boot features settings, as well as basic system information:
System Information
- BIOS Version: IPC2_3.330.3 x64
- Build Time: DD/MM/YYY
- Processor Type: Intel(R) Core(TM) iX-4XXXXX CPU @ X.X GHz
- Processor Speed: 2.1 GHz (example)
- System Memory Speed: 1600 MHz (example)
- L2 Cache RAM: 256 KB
- Memory Channel A Slot 0: 4096 MB (DDRIII-1600) (example)
- Memory Channel B Slot 0: 4096 MB (DDRIII-1600) (example)
Boot Features
- NumLock: Selects Power-on state for NumLock - Off/On
- Timeout: Number of seconds (1-99) that P.O.S.T. will wait for the user input before booting.
- Quick Boot: Enable/disable quick boot.
- Diagnostic Splash Screen: If you select 'Enabled' the diagnostic splash screen always displays during boot. If you select 'Disabled' the diagnostic splash screen does not display unless you press HOTKEY during boot.
- Diagnostic Summary Screen: Display the Diagnostic summary screen during boot.
- UEFI Boot: Enable the UEFI boot.
- Legacy Boot: Enable the Legacy boot.
- Boot in legacy video mode: Enable to force the display adapter to switch the video mode to Text Mode 3 at the end of BIOS POST for non-UEFI boot mode (Legacy Boot). Some legacy software such as DUET requires that the BIOS explicitly enter text video mode prior to boot.
- Load OPROM: Load all OPROMs or on demand according to the boot device.
Advanced
The section provides advanced system features and functionality settings.
Warning: For advanced users only. Setting items to incorrect values may cause system to malfunction.
- Select Language: Several BIOS interface languages
Silicon Information
Processor and PCH signatures (example numbers):
- Family: 4th Gen Intel Core Processor
- Model: 45
- CPUID: 40651
- CPU REV.: 1
- PATCH ID: 17
- CORE FREQ.: 2.10 GHz
- L1 Cache: 64 KB
- L2 Cache: 256 KB
- L3 Cache: 4096 KB
- PCH TYPE: LynxPoint
- PCH REV.: C1 Stepping
- PCB REV.: 1.1
Processor Configuration
- Active Processor Cores: Number of cores to enable in each processor package.
- Intel(R) HT Technology: When Disabled only one thread per enabled core is enabled.
- Enabled XD: Enabled Execute Disabled functionality. Also known as Data Execution Prevention (DEP).
- Limit CPUID maximum values: When set to enable, this causes the cpuid to return a maximum value of 3.
- Enable for BIST: Enable/Disable BIST (Built-In Self Test) on reset.
- Machine Check: Enabled processor Machine Check feature (disable only for test).
- Intel(R) Virtualization Technology: When enabled, a VMM can utilize the additional hardware capabilities.
- Intel(R) Streamer Prefetcher: Enable/Disable MLC streamer prefetcher.
- Intel(R) Spatial Prefetcher: Enable/Disable MLC spatial prefetcher.
