3.1 Introduction
Award’s BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to
modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is
stored in battery-backed memory (CMOS RAM) so that it retains the
setup information when the power is turned off.
3.2 Entering Setup
Turn on the computer and check for the “patch code”. If there is a
number assigned to the patch code, it means that the BIOS supports
your CPU.
If there is no number assigned to the patch code, please contact
Advantech’s applications engineer to obtain an up-to-date patch code
file. This will ensure that your CPU’s system status is valid.
After ensuring that you have a number assigned to the patch code,
press <Del> to allow you to enter the setup.
