BIOS Setup Information
WADE-8013/WADE-8014 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,
WADE-8013/WADE-8014 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.
