Option Description

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 changes in system conguration 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.

Dell Wyse P25/P45 BIOS Access Enables or disables the Dell Wyse P25/P45 BIOS Access. This option is set to Enabled by

default.

Power Cycle Request Enables or disables the Power Cycle Request. This option is set to None by default.
