You have two options:
•
Press <Del> to access the WinBIOS Setup program.
This option allows you to change various system parameters
such as date and time, disk drives, etc. The Running
WinBIOS Setup section of this manual describes the options
available.
You may be requested to enter a password before gaining ac-
cess to the WinBIOS Setup program. (See Password Entry
later in this section.)
If you enter the correct password or no password is required,
the WinBIOS Setup Main Menu displays. (See Running
WinBIOS Setup later in this section.)
•
Allow the bootup process to continue without invoking the
WinBIOS Setup program.
In this case, after WinBIOS loads the system, you may be re-
quested to enter a password. (See Password Entry later in
this section.)
Once the POST routines complete successfully, a screen displays
showing the current configuration of your system, including proces-
sor type, base and extended memory amounts, floppy and hard drive
types, display type and peripheral ports.
In systems with more than 1MB, WinBIOS reports 384KB less
RAM than it finds, because it accounts for the address space between
640K and 1024K which is unavailable to DOS. This space is used
for video RAM, video BIOS, system BIOS and adapter ROM’s.
Password Entry
The system may be configured so that the user is required to enter a
password each time the system boots or whenever an attempt is
made to enter WinBIOS Setup. The password function may also be
disabled so that the password prompt does not appear under any cir-
cumstances.
