4.2 Networking
Among the more exciting applications for extending the power and utility of CIARA Astro PB60S micro PCs is to connect them (using
communication links and network ports) with other computer systems to form computer / communication networks in order to
share software resources (such as databases) and hardware resources (such as printers and scanners). This is referred to as Local
Area Networking (LAN) and Wide Area Networking (WAN).
All CIARA Astro PB60S micro PCs can be networked running the Microsoft Windows and Linux Operating Systems.

4.3 The CIARA Astro PB60S BIOS
4.3.1 BIOS configuration and installation
The purpose of this section is to describe the procedures to set up the BIOS configuration options of your CIARA Astro PB60S micro
PC. All this work is done for you at the CIARA factory enabling the system to be ready to start on Power on. However, we are
describing this procedure as a means of transparency.
Every CIARA Astro PB60S is now delivered with the latest version of the Asus BIOS (as of the manufacturing date). The Asus BIOS is
a set of permanently recorded software that gives the CIARA Astro PB60S its fundamental operational characteristics.
The Asus BIOS is made up of code that provides the device-level control for the major I/O devices in the CIARA Astro PB60S micro PC
system. It contains a set of routines (called POST, for Power-On Self-Test) that tests your CIARA Astro PB60S system when you turn
it on.
It will be necessary to run the Set-Up program if you do any of the following:
•
Replace the battery,
•
Replace the processor,
In any of these cases you must use the Set-Up program to modify the system parameters to reflect the options actually installed in
your system.
To use the Set-Up program proceed as follows:
Turn on or re-boot (press simultaneously <Ctrl>, <Alt>, <Del>) your CIARA Astro PB60S system. After the Asus BIOS performs a series
of diagnostic checks, the following message appears:
Press <Del or F2> to enter Set-Up.
Once in Bios Menu choose a Set-Up option with the arrow keys and press <

> to select.
