• Wireless router capable of 802.11g or better (Linksys WRT-54GC)
• CAT5 or better cabling
siM 3 Bios Modification
If you want to use SIM 3 Remote you may ship the SIM 3 machine without a keyboard, mouse and monitor. To do so you
need to enter the SIM 3 BIOS by pressing F1 at start up and under Start-up options/POST Error handling change from
“Invoke Setup” to “Ignore all“. Exit the bios saving your options.
note: Shipping a SIM 3 machine without a keyboard, mouse and monitor while relying on SIM 3 Remote will
leave you no options if the CDROM drive gets damaged during transportation. So even if you don’t pack the
keyboard, mouse and monitor in the same rack it is advisable to have it on stand by in another flight case or at
least carry a USB to PS2 adapter for both the keyboard and mouse. This way you will be able to use another computer’s
keyboard, mouse and monitor to use or troubleshoot your SIM 3 machine.
Step 1: After pressing <F1> to invoke setup the Main Menu will appear.
Use the up/down arrow keys to select “Start-Up Options” and press <Enter>
