The board contains a custom implementation of the Phoenix BIOS 4, Revision 6.1 to suit the specific
hardware features.
Certain combinations of BIOS settings may prevent the BCT-ETX-C3-XXX from working correctly. If
problems or lock-ups are experienced on boot-up, clear the CMOS memory and restart. The default settings
will usually work in most instances. The CMOS memory is cleared using the jumper on the base board. To
clear the CMOS, switch off the power to the board, then move the jumper to the "CLR" position for a few
seconds, and then return it to its original position. The power may then be restored.
Press the keyboard <F2> key during the boot-up operation to enter the BIOS set-up screen. Various
information is available on the set-up and interpretation of the BIOS in the following files:

Some operating systems provide in-built support for the chipset used on this board. It is variously known as
VIA PN133, VIA Pro-Savage, VIA Technologies VT8606/VT8231 with Intel Mobile Celeron or Intel mobile
PIII CPU.
A CD-ROM is supplied with each board, containing most common operating system drivers. Bear in mind that
suppliers continually update their drivers, so it is always a good idea to check on the Internet for later ones.
The following websites are good starting points:
www.via.com.tw
www.viatech.com
www.intel.com
For example for a fresh install of Windows 2000 or Windows Xp operating systems, drivers can be installed as
follows
First install the Via 4in1 drivers. This is done, by running the Setup.exe program, from the appropriate
directory on the BCT Support CD. Next the Video Device Drivers can be installed in a similar manner.
For Audio and Ethernet drivers, these are installed from Windows Device Manager. Highlight the required
item and select properties [highlight then click using the Right mouse button]. From the Properties page, select
the Driver Tab and then click on “update driver”. Follow the on-screen prompts, and when asked, select
Browse and direct the path to the relevant directory on the CD.
For Audio this is
/SBPC/DISKS/alu340bp3
For Ethernet this is
/SBPC/DISKS/intel82551ER
For other operating Systems, follows the method recommended by the OS Vendor
