BIOS Settings

The SN78SH7 BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify
basic system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed RAM so that
it retains Setup information even if the system power is turned off.

The system BIOS manages and executes variety of hardware related functions in­cluding:

System date and time

Hardware execution sequence

Power management functions

Allocation of system resources

Enter the BIOS

To enter the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) utility, follow these steps:

Step1. Power on the computer. The system will perform its POST (Power-On
Self Test) routine checks.

English

Step2. Press the <Del> key immediately, or at the following message:
Press DEL to enter SETUP, or simultaneously press <Ctrl>,<Alt>,
<Esc> keys

1. If you miss wordings mentioned in step2 (the message disappears
before you can respond) and you still wish to enter BIOS Setup,
restart the system and try again by turning the computer OFF and
ON again or by pressing the <RESET> switch located at the
computer’s front-panel. You may also reboot by simultaneously
pressing the <Ctrl>,<Alt>, <Del> keys simultaneously.

2. If you do not press the keys in time and system does not boot, the
screen will prompt an error message, and you will be given the
following options:
