BIOS Setup Information
ROBO-638 is equipped with the AMI BIOS stored in Flash ROM. This BIOS has a
built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration
easily. This type of information is stored in CMOS RAM so that it is retained during
power-off periods. When system is turned on, ROBO-638 communicates with
peripheral devices and check its hardware resources against the configuration
information stored in the CMOS memory. If any error is detected, or the CMOS
parameters need to be initially defined, the diagnostic program will prompt the user to
enter the SETUP program. Some errors are significant enough to abort the start-up.

then ON, or touch the "RESET" button. You may also restart from “WARM
