2.7BIOS Configuration Overview

This topic presents an introduction to the cPB-4612’s BIOS.

The BIOS has many separately configurable features. These features are selected by running the built-in Setup utility. System configuration settings are saved in a portion of battery-backed RAM in the real-time clock device and are used by the BIOS to initialize the system at boot-up or reset. The configuration is protected by a checksum word for system integrity.

To access the Setup utility, press F2 during the system RAM check at boot-up. When Setup runs, an interactive configuration screen displays. Refer to the following "Setup Screen" illustration for an example.

Setup parameters are divided into different categories. The available categories are listed in a menu down the left side of the setup screen. The parameters within the highlighted (current) category are listed in the main (right) portion of the Setup screen. Context sensitive help can be displayed for each parameter by highlighting the parameter and pressing F1. A legend of keys is listed at the bottom of the Setup screen.

Use the up and down arrow keys to select a category from the menu. Use the up and down arrow keys to select a parameter in the main portion of the screen. Use the +/– or ↔keys to change the value of a parameter.

Solid arrows next to menu items in the main screen indicate submenus. To display a submenu, use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the submenu and then press Enter.
