Controller

You can set the NIC to On (default), Off, or On w/ PXE. When the On
w/ PXE setting is active (available only for the future boot process), the
computer prompts the user to press . Pressing this key
combination causes a menu to display that allows you to select a method for
booting from a network server. If a boot routine is not available from the
network server, the computer attempts to boot from the next device in the
boot sequence list.

Mouse Port

Enables or disables the onboard PS/2-compatible mouse controller.

the operating system.

The No Boot option restricts external access to drive data. Use this option
to prohibit users from booting the computer using an external USB device.

system without compromising data speed. When set to Off, all connected
ports share a set data speed that is equivalent to one port.
