Configuration
After the Micronics C400 system board and all hardware
is installed, the system is ready for configuration. Before
turning on the computer, make sure all cables are cor-
rectly connected and all jumpers are correctly set.
We recommend that you keep the computer cover off the
first time you boot the system. This makes it faster and
easier to correct any difficulties that might arise.
Initial Boot Up
Power up the Micronics C400. If the system does not
properly boot, check all your cables and peripherals for
bad connections. You may also get POST codes or error
messages. If this occurs, consult Appendix B and C for a
guide to possible solutions.
After the system properly boots, it is ready to be config-
ured. The following information explains the proper
procedures for BIOS configuration.
Setup
The Setup program is used to configure the computer’s
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). The computer’s
BIOS is responsible for configuring the system board and
providing hardware information to the operating system.
In order for the computer to run properly, run the Setup
procedure after first installing the system board and
whenever you make a hardware change to the system.
