(as described in *1 below) for the first time, the pop-ups (*2) informing that the settings for the device will be forcibly set to
default will be displayed as many as the number of settable PCIe slots.
When PCIe MCTP Options menu (*1) for the first time, the pop-ups (*2) with the contents to force the default settings is
