If you wish to install a 3rd party add-in network card instead of using the onboard LAN, set this item to

Disabled.

& XHCI Mode

Allows you to determine the operating mode for the xHCI controller in OS.

Smart Auto This mode is available only when the BIOS supports the xHCI controller in the pre-boot

environment. This mode is similar to Auto, but it adds the capability to route the ports

toxHCIorEHCIaccordingtosettingusedinpreviousboots(fornon-G3boot)inthe

pre-boot environment. This allows the use of USB 3.0 devices prior to OS boot. xHCI

controller enabling and rerouting should follow the steps in Auto, when previous boot

routs ports to EHCI. Note: This is the recommended mode when BIOS has xHCI pre-

bootsupport.(Default)

Auto BIOS routes the sharable ports to EHCI controller. Then it uses ACPI protocols to

provide an option to enable the xHCI controller and reroute the sharable ports. Note:

This is the recommended mode when BIOS does NOT have xHCI pre-boot support.
