2-6 Workstation 5A Setup Guide - Fourth Edition
Workstation 5A BIOS
The BIOS System Configuration Utility
Should this configuration be upgraded to 2G of RAM, the workstation may
fail to start POSReady 2009, display BSODs at start-up, and or a ‘Windows
Failed to Start Properly Menu. In other cases, POSReady 2009 may start,
but fail to properly shut down, displaying a light blue screen.
• MICROS recommends you upgrade to Version 2.0 of the POSReady 2009
image.
Tips for Using the System Configuration Utility
When using the System Configuration Utility, the general idea is to navigate to
the menus containing specific configuration fields, and change those fields as
required. For example, the ODM tab contains all Workstation 5A related
configuration fields. To navigate, use the help text located on the right side of
each menu tab. Randomly changing configuration fields when troubleshooting
or testing can cause some features or the entire workstation to stop functioning.
Should this occur, try returning to the original boot defaults or see Clearing the
CMOS memory in Chapter 3. When your changes are complete, navigate to
the Exit menu, and select the appropriate boot defaults based on the operating
system and disk media installed. When you save and exit the BIOS, all changes
are stored in nonvolatile CMOS memory, and take effect on the next boot.
