BIOS Setup Utility

Introduction

This chapter describes the BIOS Setup Utility menus and the various screens used for configuring the XTX 820. Some features in the Operating System or application software may require configuration in the BIOS Setup screens.

This section assumes the user is familiar with general BIOS Setup and does not attempt to describe the BIOS functions. Refer to the appropriate PC reference manuals for information about the onboard ROM-BIOS software interface. If Ampro has added to or modified the standard functions, these functions will be described.

The options provided for the XTX 820 are controlled by BIOS Setup. BIOS Setup is used to configure the board, modify the fields in the Setup screens, and save the results in the onboard configuration memory. Configuration memory consists of portions of the CMOS RAM in the battery-backed real-time clock chip and the flash memory.

The Setup information is retrieved from configuration memory when the board is powered up or when it is rebooted. Changes made to the Setup parameters, with the exception of the time and date settings, do not take effect until the board is rebooted.

Setup is located in the ROM BIOS and can be accessed while the board is in the Power-On Self Test (POST) state, just before starting the boot process. Typically, the screen displays a message indicating when you can press <Del> to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.

The XTX 820 BIOS Setup Utility is used to configure items in the BIOS using the following menus:

• Main

• Security

•

Advanced

•

Power

•

Boot

•

Exit

Table 4-1 summarizes the list of BIOS menus and some of the features available for XTX 820. The BIOS Setup menu offers the menu choices listed above and the related topics and screens are described on the following pages.

Accessing BIOS Setup Utility (VGA Display)

To access the BIOS Setup Utility using a VGA display for the XTX 820:

1.Turn on the VGA monitor and the power supply to the XTX 820 and baseboard assembly.

2.Start Setup by pressing the [Del] key, when the following message appears on the boot screen.

Hit <Del> if you want to run SETUP

NOTE If the setting for Quick Boot is set to [Enabled], you may not see this prompt appear on screen if the monitor is too slow to display it on start up. If this happens, press the <Del> key early in the boot sequence to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.

3.Use the <Enter> key to select the screen menus listed in the Opening BIOS screen. See Figure 4-1.

4.Follow the instructions at the right of each screen to navigate through the selections and modify any settings.
