Handling and Installation 23
In addition, the front panel LEDs are used to indicate various modes of
operational status that can occur with the VMIVME-7805/VME-7805RC. The table
below is a summary of these indications.
1.7 BIOS Setup
The VMIVME-7805/VME-7805RC have an onboard BIOS Setup program (AMI
BIOS) that controls many configuration options. These options are saved in
nonvolatile, battery-backed memory and are collectively referred to as the board’s
CMOS Configuration. The CMOS configuration controls many details concerning
the behavior of the hardware from the moment power is applied.
The VMIVME-7805/VME-7805RC are shipped from the factory with hard drive
type configuration set to AUTO in the CMOS.
