The BIOS Setup Utility

Configuration

After the W6-LI system board and all hardware is in- stalled, the system is ready for configuration. Before turning on the computer, make sure all cables are cor- rectly connected and all jumpers are correctly set.

It is recommended you keep the computer cover off the first time you boot the system. This will make it easier to correct any difficulties that might arise.

Initial Boot Up

Power up the W6-LI. If the system does not properly boot, check all your cables and peripherals for bad connections. You may also get beep codes or error messages. If this occurs, consult Appendices B and/or C for a guide to possible solutions.

After the system properly boots, it is ready to be config- ured. The following information explains the proper procedures for BIOS configuration.

Setup

The Setup program is used to configure the computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). The computer’s BIOS is responsible for configuring the system board and providing hardware information to the operating system. In order for the computer to run properly, run the Setup procedure after first installing the system board and whenever you make a hardware change to the system.
