Chapter 2: WinBIOS Setup
Your 586MBH Industrial features an AMI BIOS available with a new type of system BIOS Setup
utility. WinBIOS Setup has a graphical user interface that permits mouse access, and is so compact
that it can reside on the same ROM as the system BIOS. The system configuration parameters are
set via WinBIOS Setup. Since WinBIOS Setup resides in the ROM BIOS, it is available each time
the computer is turned on.
