Chapter 3 – BIOS Setup Menus
The XVME-653/658 customized BIOS is designed to surpass the functionality provided
for normal PCs. This custom BIOS allows you to access the value-added features on the
XVME-653/658 module without interfacing to the hardware directly.
Getting to the BIOS Setup Menus
If the setup prompt is disabled on your system (the default setting) press F2 repeatedly
after the memory tests and before your system loads the operating system in order to ac-
cess the main menu.
If the setup prompt is enabled on your system, the BIOS displays the following message:
Press F2 to enter Setup . Once this message appears, press F2 to access the main menu.
The BIOS Main Setup Menu is shown on the next page.
