Miscellaneous Settings screen details

You can use the Miscellaneous Settings screen to perform specific functions such as updating the asset tag, and changing the system date and time.

About this task

You can view the Miscellaneous Settings screen by clicking System Setup Main Menu > System BIOS > Miscellaneous Settings.

The Miscellaneous Settings screen details are explained as follows:

Menu Item
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
Displays 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. By default the Keyboard NumLock is set to On.
NOTE:This option does not apply to 84-key keyboards.
F1/F2 Prompt on Error
Enables or disables the F1/F2 prompt on error. By default, F1/F2 Prompt on Error is set to Enabled. The F1/F2 prompt also includes keyboard errors.
Load Legacy Video Option ROM
Enables you to determine wether 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 only for UEFI boot mode. You cannot set this to Enabled if UEFI Secure Boot mode is enabled.
In-System Characterization
This option enables or disables In-System Characterization. By default, In-System Characterization is set to Enabled - No Reboot. The two other options are Enabled and Disabled.

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 required 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.
