BIOS Setup Information
WADE-8021 uses AMI BIOS structure 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-8021 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.
