Section 3 System Setup

This section provides the information for the system setup procedure and also briefs the setup procedures for system BIOS.

3-1 SYSTEM SETUP

The system BIOS supports an internal ROM-based system setup utility. When the first time you power up the system, the system CMOS memory contains incorrect configuration information and the BIOS prompts you to get into the SETUP utility. The system requires correct configuration information stored in the CMOS memory. The SETUP utility will guide you to properly configure the system in a simple and straightforward way. A typical setup procedure is as follows:

1.Properly install the system.

A basic system should include at least

-the SQ599 motherboard with CPU and cooler installed

-a standard AT case with power supply

-an AT compatible keyboard

-the floppy driver and hard disk

-the monitor

-minimum one SIMM module with total 8MB memory

2.Turn the system power on.

3.The system BIOS will run Power-On-Self-Test(POST). When the test is completed, the system prompts you to go through the system SETUP utility. You can ignore the prompt if system setup has been configured correctly.

4.Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the SETUP utility to

-Set Date and Time

-Select correct floppy disk type and number

-Select correct hard disk type and number

-Set the advanced features if necessary

5.Exit the SETUP utility when done

6.System starts to reboot.
