BIOS Introduction

socket on the board. With the BIOS Setup program, users can modify BIOS settings
and control various system features. This chapter describes the basic navigation of
the ARK-2250R BIOS setup screens. Advantech will have revisions for product opti-
mization so customers can re-flash the latest BIOS through the AFU utility. Please
contact Advantech sales or FAE for more details.
