SUMMARY

Enabling the ACPI APIC function in BIOS enhances system hardware communication, allowing for better management of CPU temperature, battery status, and other critical events. Activating ACPI 2.0 Support further improves power management and device configuration. Adjusting NVIDIA RAID settings in BIOS is relevant for systems with multiple hard drives, as it can optimize data security and performance. However, caution is advised when modifying BIOS settings, as incorrect configurations can lead to system instability.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
  • Familiarity with BIOS settings and their impact on hardware
  • Knowledge of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) configurations
  • Basic comprehension of NVIDIA hardware and its RAID functionality
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of enabling ACPI APIC in BIOS settings
  • Learn about the benefits of ACPI 2.0 Support for power management
  • Explore different RAID levels and their advantages for data security
  • Investigate best practices for safely modifying BIOS settings
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for system administrators, hardware enthusiasts, and anyone looking to optimize their computer's BIOS settings for improved performance and stability.

1) What would happen if I enable the ACPI APIC function in BIOS ?

2) What would happen if I enable ACPI 2.0 Support in BIOS ?

3) What would happen if I enable or change some settings in NVIDIA RAID function in BIOS ?

As far as I know the ACPI is responsible for generation of information critical to the system hardware, like CPU temperature, laptop lid status, battery status, etc... and In my laptop my power button press is also notified as an ACPI event

If you shutdown the ACPI, all this information will be lost.

The RAID that you see in your bios is a hardware raid. It's only beneficial if you have more than one hard driver. RAID is a way by which you can double the security or the speed of 2 or more hardrives.
 
Yeah, and be careful with BIOS settings.
