4 Utilities
This chapter provides information on how to read information from and configure the BIOS
Setup utility, the SEMA utility, the Watchdog Timer utility, and the board temperature sensors on
the Q7-BT.
4.1 BIOS
The Q7-BT features an AMI BIOS. The default settings provide a “ready to run” system, even
without a BIOS setup backup battery.
The BIOS is located in flash memory and can be easily updated with software under DOS.
All setup changes of the BIOS are stored in the CMOS RAM.
The soldered battery will provide power to store that information for over two years without
board activation.
4.1.1 Configuring the BIOS
 Pressing <DEL> during power up starts the BIOS setup utility.
 Pressing <F11> during power up starts the boot menu.
 Pressing <END> during power up returns settings to default.
4.1.2 Main screen of the BIOS
The main screen of the BIOS SETUP UTILITY provides an overview of the BIOS version, the
clock speed, installed memory, memory speed, date and time, and other system information.
The date and time can be configured by the user.
