BIOS Setup Information
RUBY-D716VG2ARVG2AR is equipped with the Phoenix BIOS stored in Flash ROM.
These 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, RUBY-
D716VG2ARVG2AR communicates with peripheral devices and checks 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.
