Wake on LAN Allows the computer to turn on by a special LAN signal or from Hibernate state when triggered by a special wireless LAN signal. Wake-up from the Standby state is unaffected by this setting and must be enabled in the operating system. l Disabled — Do not allow the system to power on when it receives a wake-up signal from the LAN or wireless LAN. l LAN Only — Allow the system to be powered on by special LAN signals. The factory default setting is Disabled. ExpressCharge Allows you to enable or disable the ExpressCharge feature. NOTE: ExpressCharge may not be available for all batteries. Charger Behaviour Allows you to enable or disable the battery charger. If disabled, the battery will not lose power when the system is connected to an AC adapter but it will not charge either. Default setting: Enabled POST Behaviour Option Description Adapter Warnings Allows you to enable or disable the BIOS warning messages when you use certain power adapters. The BIOS displays these messages if you attempt to use a power adapter that has too little capacity for your configuration. The factory default setting is Enabled. Keypad (Embedded) Allows you to select one of two methods to enable the keypad that is embedded in the internal keyboard. l Fn Key Only — The keypad is only enabled when you hold down the key. l By Num Lk — The keypad is enabled when (1) the Num Lock LED is on and (2) no external keyboard is attached. Note that the system might not notice immediately when an external keyboard is detached. NOTE: When Setup is running, this field has no effect—Setup works in the Fn Key Only mode. Default setting: Fn Key Only. Mouse/Touchpad Determines how the system handles mouse and the touchpad input. Default setting: Touchpad/PS-2 Mouse. Numlock LED Allows you to enable or disable the Num Lock LED when the computer boots. Default setting: Enabled. USB Emulation Defines how the BIOS handles the USB devices. USB emulation is always enabled during POST. The factory default setting is Enabled. Fn Key Emulation Allows you to use the key on an external PS/2 keyboard the same way you use the key on the computer's internal keyboard. NOTE: USB keyboards cannot emulate the key if you are running an ACPI operating system such as Microsoft® Windows® XP. USB keyboards will only emulate the key in non-ACPI mode (e.g., when you are running a DOS). Default setting: Enabled. Fast Boot Allows you to enable or disable the Fast Boot feature. The following options are available: l Minimal — Boot quickly unless the BIOS has been updated, memory changed, or the previous POST did not complete. l Thorough — Do not skip any steps in the boot process. l Auto — Allow the operating system to control this setting (this works only when the operating system supports Simple Boot Flag). Default setting: Minimal Intel Fast Call for Help Used in conjunction with iAMT 4.0.
