Starting the uEFI BIOS
The CP3005 is provided with a Kontron-customized, pre-installed and configured version of Aptio®V (referred to as
uEFI BIOS in this manual), AMI’s BIOS firmware based on the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (uEFI) specification
and the Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for EFI. This uEFI BIOS provides a variety of new and enhanced
functions specifically tailored to the hardware features of the CP3005.
The uEFI BIOS comes with a Setup program which provides quick and easy access to the individual function settings
for control or modification of the uEFI BIOS configuration. The Setup program allows the accessing of various menus
which provide functions or access to sub-menus with more specific functions of their own.
To start the uEFI BIOS Setup program, follow the steps below:
1.
Power on the board.
2.
Wait until the first characters appear on the screen (POST messages or splash screen).
3.
Press the <DEL> key.
4.
If the uEFI BIOS is password-protected, a request for password will appear. Enter either the User Password
or the Supervisor Password (see Security menu), press <RETURN>, and proceed with step 5.
5.
A Setup menu will appear.
The CP3005 uEFI BIOS Setup program uses a hot key-based navigation system. A hot key legend bar is located on the
bottom of the Setup screens. The following table provides information concerning the usage of these hot keys.
