AMIBIOS Setup 15-1
15 AMIBIOS SETUP
The TEK933 is fully software configurable. The setup programs allow for minimal
hardware configuration.
The VIP-UP program - TEKNOR's own Setup program for enabling / disabling /
relocating various hardware features - is explained in Section 16.
The AMIBIOS Setup program which is used to change operating parameters is
explained in this section.
15.01 ACCESSING AMIBIOS SETUP PROGRAM
The TEK933 uses the AMIBIOS Setup program, a setup utility in ROM that is accessed
by pressing the DELETE key at the appropriate time during system boot. This utility is
used to set configuration data in CMOS RAM.
The system BIOS (Basic Input Output System) provides an interface between the
operating system and the hardware of the TEK933 single-board computer. The interface
provided by AMIBIOS is 100% IBM AT compatible. All functions accept similar
inputs as IBM and provide the same results, although the program code itself is
different.
To run the AMIBIOS Setup program incorporated in the ROM BIOS:
• Turn on or reboot the system.
• Hit the DELETE key before or when the message - "Hit <DEL> if you want to run
SETUP" appears near the top of the screen (DELETE will work, even if the message
display is disabled in AMIBIOS SETUP).
• The main menu appears on the screen.
