BIOS Setup program The BIOS Setup program, or BIOS Setup for short, is located, together with the setup parameters, in a FLASH block on the motherboard. Change the setup parameters of the device in the BIOS Setup, e.g. system time or boot sequence. Changing the device configuration Your device configuration is preset for operating with the included software. You should only change the default setup parameters if technical modifications to your device require different parameters. NOTICE Malfunctions can occur with running software CPU If a BIOS update of the PC is performed while SIMATIC software controller, a SIMATIC WinAC for example, is running, the software CPU can malfunction, resulting in communication interruptions or failures, for example. Other actions that put a heavy load on the PC hardware, for example, running hardware tests such as benchmarks, can result in malfunctions of the software CPU. Do not run a BIOS update or other actions that would put a heavy load on the hardware during operation of a software CPU. Switch the software CPU to "STOP" before you run a BIOS update or perform other critical actions. Note Documentation BIOS Setup is described for all devices and device configurations. Some BIOS submenus or Setup parameters may not be included, depending on your order. The interface of your BIOS Setup can deviate from the figures in this document. You can find a detailed description of the BIOS on the Support website under Entry ID 92189178 (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/92189178).

Active Processor Cores All Cores All cores of the processor are active and used. 1 Core Number of processor cores used (provided they do not exceed the actual number of cores). The remaining are inactive and are hidden from the operating system. This can resolve certain problems with software. 2 Cores 3 Cores HT Support If possible, use hyperthreading (Auto) or deactivate it fully (Disabled). With Hyper Threading Technology, multiple logical processors are presented to the operating system instead of a single physical processor. This allows the operating system to better distribute tasks and increase the overall processor performance. The operating system must support ACPI. "HT Support" with operating systems that provide no ACPI support. Execute Disable Bit 3 Use XD Capability 2 When activated (Enabled), the operating system can prevent the execution of programs in specific areas of memory for virus protection.

VTX-2 1 2 C-States Enable the energy saving modes of the processor (Enabled) or lock them (Disabled). Max C-States c7 1, c6 1, c1 1 Prevent the CPU from entering hibernation states that are too deep. The larger the number behind the "c", the deeper the hibernation state, the less the power consumption and the longer it takes for the devices to switch on again from the hibernation state. For example, the setting C6 allows the C states C1, C2 to C6 to be adopted. The possible other C states C7 are prevented. Turbo Mode 1 Enabled Enabling turbo mode (Enabled). When enabled, the processor can use Intel Turbo Boost technology to increase the clock speed when the operating system requests more power. To use the Turbo mode effectively, the performance modes of the "P-States (IST)" processor and energy saving modes of the "C-States" processor must be enabled. Turbo Mode Level 1 1 2 3 Disabled Disabling turbo mode (Disabled). Auto 2 The turbo mode is enabled if its supported by the CPU, otherwise it is not enabled. High Performance The CPU is operated with maximum power. A higher temperature development is taken into account, without regard for the ambient temperature. Temperature optimized When using the device in higher ambient temperatures. As a result, the CPU power consumption is reduced in favor of a higher permissible ambient temperature.
