CHAPTER 3 BIOS SETUP
3.1 BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system's
ROM supports Intel processors. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for a
standard device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus
and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the
chipset controlling the entire system.
MPC6171A/ MPC 6171B
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup utility. When you
turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key
immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the
<Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system
by pressing the "Reset" button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The
following message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the <PgUp>
and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the screen. The
Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions and exit choices.

The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the
control keys for this menu. At the bottom of the Main Menu just below the control keys
section, there is another section, which displays information on the currently highlighted
item in the list.
Note:If the system cannot boot after making and saving system changes with Setup,
the Award BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings that resets your system to
its default.
Warning: It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any changes to the chipset
defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your system
manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Changing
the defaults could cause the system to become unstable and crash in some cases.

This section allows you to configure and improve your system and allows you to set up some system
features according to your preference.
CPU Feature
Press Enter to configure the settings relevant to CPU Feature.
Hard Disk Boot Priority
With the field, there is the option to choose, aside from the hard disks connected, "Bootable add-in
Cards" which refers to other external devices.
Virus Warning
If this option is enabled, an alarm message will be displayed when trying to write on the boot sector or on
the partition table on the disk, which is typical of the virus.
CPU L1 and L2 Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory).
CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory , and most, but not all, modern PCs have
additional (external) cache memory . When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested
data from the main DRAM into cache memory , for even faster access by the CPU. These items allow you
to enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function. By default, these items are
Enabled.

Load Fail-Safe Defaults
This option allows you to load the troubleshooting default values permanently stored in
the BIOS ROM. These default settings are non-optimal and disable all high-performance features.
Load Optimized Defaults
This option allows you to load the default values to your system configuration. These
default settings are optimal and enable all high performance features.
Set Supervisor Password
These two options set the system password. Supervisor Password sets a password
that will be used to protect the system and Setup utility. User Password sets a
password that will be used exclusively on the system. To specify a password, highlight the type you want and press <Enter>. The Enter Password: message prompts on
the screen. Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>.
The system confirms your password by asking you to type it again. After setting a
password, the screen automatically returns to the main screen.

B.VESA MOUNTING
The MPC6171A/ MPC6171B also provides standard VESA mounting to help system integrators
conveniently integrate the panel PC into their system.
Never use any other mounting brackets except those provided by Wincomm to prevent the unreliable
fixing of MPC6171A/ MPC6171. VESA mount installation should be carried out by a professional
technician. Please contact the service technician or your retailer if you need this service.
Installation instructions follow:
1. The wall-mounting attachment is comprised of two parts: one back bracket, and one mounting
bracket.
2. First attach the back bracket to the rear cover of the MPC6171A/ MPC6171, securing it in place
with four of the Phillips-head screws provided.
3. Attach the mounting bracket to the wall or another flat surface. The back bracket slides vertically
from the top into the mounting bracket. It can be secured to the mounting bracket by screwing four of
the Phillips-head screws provided through the corresponding holes at the tops of the mounting
bracket.
Warning:
Be sure to secure the screws of the mounting bracket tightly . Injuries could result if the MPC6171A/
MPC6171 isn't properly secured to the mounting bracket.
