Chapter 4 <BIOS Setup>
The motherboard uses the Award BIOS for the system configuration. The Award BIOS
in the single board computer is a customized version of the industrial standard BIOS for
IBM PC AT-compatible computers. It supports Intel x86 and compatible CPU
architecture based processors and computers. The BIOS provides critical low-level
support for the system central processing, memory and I/O sub-systems.
The BIOS setup program of the single board computer let the customers modify the
basic configuration setting. The settings are stored in a dedicated battery-backed
memory, NVRAM, retains the information when the power is turned off. If the battery
runs out of the power, then the settings of BIOS will come back to the default setting.
The BIOS section of the manual is subject to change without notice and is provided here
for reference purpose only. The settings and configurations of the BIOS are current at
the time of print, and therefore they may not be exactl y the same as that displayed on
your screen.
To activate CMOS Setup program, press <DEL> key immediatel y after you turn on
the system. The following message “Press DEL to enter SETUP” should appear in the
lower left hand corner of your screen. When you enter the CMOS Setup Utility, the Main
Menu will be displayed as Figure 4-1. You can use arrow keys to select your function,
press <Enter> key to accept the selection and enter the sub-menu.
