4.3 The CIARA Astro SN-170T 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 SN-170T 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 SN-170T 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 SN-170T 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 SN-170T micro
PC system. It contains a set of routines (called POST, for Power-On Self-Test) that tests your CIARA Astro SN-170T 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 SN-170T system. After the Asus BIOS performs a series
of diagnostic checks, the following message appears:
Press <Del> to enter Set-Up.
Once in Bios Menu choose a Set-Up option with the arrow keys and press <

> to select.
