Honeywell THOR VM1, Reference Manual, Page: 83 / 324

BIOS
The Microsoft Windows CE operating system is installed before shipping. The default BIOS parameters are configured at that
time. In most cases, it is unnecessary to modify the BIOS parameters.
Generally, it is only necessary to enter the BIOS setup to change the boot order of the drives.
This section is not intended to detail all features of the BIOS, instead it is intended to cover the most commonly used setup
options.
Caution: Be very careful when using this utility to modify BIOS Setup parameters. The Thor VM1 may generate unexpected
results when incorrect or conflicting parameter values are entered. Selecting incorrect or invalid options may
require the Thor VM1 to be returned for repairs.
The parameters should only be modified by Information Services personnel or the system administrator.
