Allows you to set: (continued)
• NIC PXE Option ROM Download 
(enable/disable). The BIOS contains an 
embedded NIC option ROM to allow the 
unit to boot through the network to a PXE 
server. This is typically used to download 
a corporate image to a hard drive. The 
NIC option ROM takes up memory space 
below 1MB commonly referred to as DOS 
Compatibility Hole (DCH) space. This 
space is limited. This F10 option will allow 
users to disable the downloading of this 
embedded NIC option ROM thus giving 
more DCH space for additional PCI cards 
which may need option ROM space. The 
default will be to have the NIC 
option-ROM-enabled.
