In-Depth Information
• BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level
• System data, such as installed peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags
• Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed
• Dynamic data such as event detection, including event detection and error logging
Table 5.15
shows a typical Event Logging menu in BIOS Setup.
Table 5.15. Advanced Event Log Configuration Menu
Some motherboards with ECC memory also support logging ECC events. I find event logging
particularly useful for tracking errors such as ECC errors. Using the View Log feature, you can see
whether the system has detected (and corrected) any errors.
Advanced Video Configuration
The Video Configuration menu is for configuring video features.
Table 5.16
shows the functions of
this menu in a typical modern motherboard BIOS.
