4.1 BIOS options
4.1.1 General information
BIOS is an acronym for "Basic Input/Output System". It is the most basic standardized interface between the user
and the system (hardware). The Mobile Panel 7151 uses a BIOS in which the settings in the system configuration
are permanent and do not need to be changed further.
4.1.2 BIOS Setup and boot procedure
BIOS is enabled immediately after switching on the power supply of the Mobile Panel. BIOS reads the system
configuration information, checks and configures the system with the Power-On Self-Test (POST).
When these "preparations" are completed, BIOS searches the system for an operating system in the available data
storage devices. BIOS then launches the operating system and hands over to it the control of system operations.
To enter BIOS Setup, key "Del" must be pressed (during POST) and password "7090" entered. Although it is
possible to select various options in BIOS, none of the changes will be applied.
To enter the boot menu and, for example, boot from another data storage device (USB flash drive), key "F7" must be
pressed (during POST) and password "7090" entered. The USB keyboard and USB flash drive must be connected
to the Mobile Panel beforehand via the USB hub.
