UEFI BIOS Setup

Introduction

The purpose ofthis manual is to describethe settings in the AMI UEFI BIOS Setup

program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic

system configuration and save these settings to NVRAM.

UEFI BIOS determines what acomputer can do without accessing programs from a

disk. This system controls most of the input and output devices such as keyboard,

mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS activates at the first stage of the booting

process, loading and executing the operating system. Some additional features, such

as virus and password protection or chipset fine-tuning options are also included in

UEFI BIOS.

The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in UEFI

BIOS Setup.

Plugand Play Support

ThisAMI UEFI BIOSsupportsthe Plugand Play Version 1.0A specification.

EPA Green PC Support

ThisAMI UEFI BIOSsupports Version 1.03 ofthe EPA Green PCspecification.

ACPI Support

AMI ACPI UEFI BIOS support Version 1.0/2.0 of Advanced Configuration and

Power interface specification (ACPI). It provides ASL code for power

management and device configuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI

specification, developed by Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba.

PCI Bus Support

This AMI UEFI BIOS also supports Version 2.3 of the Intel PCI (Peripheral

Component Interconnect) local bus specification.

DRAM Support

DDR3 SDRAM (Double Data Rate III Synchronous DRAM) is supported.

Using Setup

When starting up the computer, press

<Del> during the Power-On Self-Test

(POST) to enter the UEFI BIOS setup

utility.

In the UEFI BIOS setup utility, you will

see General Help description at the top

right corner, and this is providing a brief

description of the selected item.

Navigation Keys for that particular menu

are at the bottom right corner, and you can

use these keys to select item and change

the settings.

Notice

zThe default UEFI BIOS settings apply for most conditions to ensure optimum

performance of the motherboard. If the system becomes unstable after changing

any settings, please load the default settings to ensure system’s compatibility and

stability. Use Load Setup Default underthe Exit Menu.

zFor better system performance, the UEFI BIOS firmware is being continuously

updated. The UEFI BIOS information described in this manual is for your reference

only. The actual UEFI BIOS information and settings on board may be slightly

different from this manual.

zThe content ofthis manual is subject to be changed without notice. We will not be

responsible for any mistakes found in this user’s manual and any system damage that

may be caused by wrong-settings.

Limit CPUID Maximum

When the computer is booted up, the operating system executes the CPUID

instruction to identify the processor and its capabilities. Before it can do so, it must

first query the processor to find out the highest input value CPUID recognizes. This

determines thekind ofbasic information CPUID can provide the operating system.

Options: Disabled (Default) / Enabled

Execute-Disable Bit

XD can prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow attacks when combined

with a supporting OS (Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows XP SP2, SuSE Linux

9.2, RedHat Enterprise3 Update 3.).

Options: Enabled (Default) / Disabled

TH67+/TH67/TH67B UEFI BIOS Manual

Hardware Prefetcher

The processor has a hardware prefetcher that automatically analyzes its requirements

and prefetches data and instructions from the memory into the Level 2 cache that are

likely to be required in the near future. This reduces the latency associated with

memory reads.

Options: Enabled (Default) / Disabled

Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch

The processor has a hardware adjacent cache line prefetch mechanism that

automatically fetches an extra 64-byte cache line whenever the processor requests for

a 64-byte cache line. This reduces cache latency by making the next cache line

immediately available ifthe processor requires it as well.

Options: Enabled (Default) / Disabled
