Advanced MenuThis menu contains BIOS settings that normally do not require modification. If you havespecific problems such as unbootable disks or resource conflicts, you may need to examinethese settings.The Advanced setup menu includes the following submenus:• SATA Configuration• CPU Configuration• Video Configuration• Power/Wake Configuration• AMT Configuration• USB Configuration• Serial Port ConfigurationSATA Configuration SubmenuUse this submenu to apply custom configurations to the internal disk drive of the IC-317x.Normally, you do not need to modify these settings, as the factory default settings provide themost compatible and optimal configuration.• SATA Controller(s)—Enables or disables the SATA controller. The default is Enabled.– SATA Port 0—Enables or disables SATA port 0.– SATA Port 1—Enables or disables SATA port 1.– SATA Port 3—Enables or disables SATA port 3.• Onboard Storage—Lists the SATA disk drive and displays the size of the disk.CPU Configuration SubmenuUse this submenu to apply custom configurations to the internal processor of the device.Normally, you do not need to modify these settings, as the factory default settings provide themost compatible and optimal configuration.• Hyper-Threading—This setting specifies whether or not to enable Intel Hyper-Threadingtechnology in the processor. When enabled, performance may increase because virtualprocessing cores are enabled, but software jitter may increase. The default setting isDisabled.• Enabled CPU Cores—This setting specifies the number of processing cores that areenabled. The default setting is All.• Turbo Boost—This setting specifies whether or not to enable Intel Turbo Boosttechnology. When enabled, if current conditions within the processor allow, the processoroperates at frequencies higher than the base frequency. This may increase processingperformance, but software jitter may increase. The default setting is Enabled.• C-States—This setting specifies whether or not to enable CPU power management. Whenenabled, the processor may achieve maximum operating frequency when Turbo Boost isenabled, but software jitter may increase. The default setting is Enabled.• Hardware Prefetcher—This setting specifies whether or not to enable the hardwareprefetcher.
