Booting the CMX58886CX cpuModule for the First Time

You can now apply power to the cpuModule. You will see:

•A greeting message from the VGA BIOS (if the VGA BIOS has a sign-on message)

•The cpuModule BIOS version information

•A message requesting you press Delete to enter the Setup program

If you don’t press Delete, the cpuModule will try to boot from the current settings. If you press Delete, the cpuModule will enter Setup. Once you have configured the cpuModule using Setup, save your changes and reboot.

Note You may miss the initial sign-on messages if your monitor takes a while to power on.

Note By default, cpuModules are shipped with Fail Safe Boot ROM enabled. When Fail Safe Boot ROM is enabled, the system will boot to it exclusively.
