controller offers the value integration solution for low cost multi-media computing
platform. Such as VoD (video on demand), DVR (Digital Video Recorder), digital video
broadcasting (DVB), streaming, surveillance, compression (MPEG), interaction server,
workstation and terminal appliances.
Redundant Network Reliability: dual Intel PRO/100+ 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet
interfaces for high reliability of redundant LAN, or external / internal dual direction
networking applications.
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Interface: Intel ICH4 built-in USB 2.0 controller let FS-977 offer the
high speed USB 2.0 interface with 480 Mbps of data transfer rate. It makes FS-977 be
the platform to link with high-end USB 2.0 devices including digital camera, USB hard
disk, and other USB 2.0 based peripherals.

Chapter 3. BIOS Setup
The single board computer 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 exactly the same as that
displayed on your screen.
To activate CMOS Setup program, press ＜DEL＞ key immediately 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 3-1. You can use arrow keys to select your function,
press ＜Enter＞ key to accept the selection and enter the sub-menu.
