Suppress Unused PCI Slot Clocks

Common Options : Yes, No

Quick Review

This BIOS feature determines whether the BIOS should actively reduce EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and reduce power consumption by turning off unoccupied or inactive PCI slots.

If you set it to Yes, the BIOS will monitor PCI slots and turn off clock signals to all unoccupied and inactive slots.

If you set it to No, the BIOS will not monitor PCI slots. All clock signals will remain active even to unoccupied or inactive slots.

It is recommended that you set this feature to Yes to save power and reduce EMI.
