DigiPoS Millennium Technical Manual
BIOS Set-up Overview
The DigiPoS Retail System contains its own permanently programmed SETUP routine,
which allows it to recognize and utilize the system's hardware. For example, one can set
the system to identify hard disk and floppy disk drive capacity, the type of video being
used, and the amount of memory installed. The BIOS (BASIC Input / Output System) will
read this information each time the system boots up.
As setting up the BIOS can be complicated, PC-PoS advises that if any changes to the
BIOS are to be made, only competent qualified computer technicians undertake them.
There are settings within the BIOS that are operating system dependant and have been
set up in accordance to your systems configuration. Altering any of these settings is not
advised under any circumstances as any one setting incorrectly set can drastically alter
the performance of your DigiPoS and could invalidate the warranty.
The following screenshots are a guide through the CMOS set-up utility for the DigiPoS
Millennium. If you need help at any time during this process, press F1 and a small window
will pop up describing the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the
highlighted item. To exit the help window press <Esc> or F1.
Please note that the default settings, (regardless of operating system installation which will
be covered later in this section) are shown in
BOLD
where appropriate.
