Miscellaneous Settings details
The Miscellaneous Settings screen details are explained as follows:
Option
Description
System Time Enables you to set the time on the system.
System Date Enables you to set the date on the system.
Asset Tag Specifies the asset tag and enables you to modify it for security and tracking purposes.
Keyboard
NumLock
Enables you to set whether the system boots with the NumLock enabled or disabled. This option is set to
On by default.
NOTE: This option does not apply to 84-key keyboards.
F1/F2 Prompt on
Error
Enables or disables the F1/F2 prompt on error. This option is set to Enabled by default. The F1/F2
prompt also includes keyboard errors.
Load Legacy
Video Option
ROM
Enables you to determine whether the system BIOS loads the legacy video (INT 10H) option ROM from
the video controller. Selecting Enabled in the operating system does not support UEFI video output
standards. This field is available only for UEFI boot mode. You cannot set the option to Enabled if UEFI
Secure Boot mode is enabled.
In-System
Characterization
Enables or disables In-System Characterization. This option is set to Disabled by default. The two
other options are Enabled and Enabled - No Reboot.
NOTE: The default setting for In-System Characterization is subject to change in future BIOS
releases.
When enabled, In-System Characterization (ISC) executes during POST upon detecting relevant
change(s) in system configuration to optimize system power and performance. ISC takes about 20
seconds to execute, and system reset is needed for ISC results to be applied. The Enabled - No Reboot
option executes ISC and continues without applying ISC results until the next time system reset occurs.
The Enabled option executes ISC and forces an immediate system reset so that ISC results can be
applied. It takes the system longer to be ready due to the forced system reset. When disabled, ISC does
not execute.
