TPC-xx51T-x3BE User Manual 54
With the AMI BIOS Setup program, users can modify BIOS settings and control vari-
ous system features. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the BIOS Setup
Utility
AMI's BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic
system configuration. This information is stored in flash ROM so it retains the Setup
information when the power is turned off.
C.1 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 an Advantech application 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> and you will immediately be allowed to enter Setup.
C.1.1 Main Setup
When you first enter the BIOS Setup Utility, users will enter the Main setup screen.
Users can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab. There
are two Main Setup options. They are described in this section. The Main BIOS
Setup screen is shown below.
