BIOS Configuration Overview
This topic presents an introduction to the ZT 5515’s BIOS. For more detailed information about the
BIOS and other utilities, see the Intel NetStructure Embedded BIOS Manual available on the Intel
Website.
The BIOS has many separately configurable features. These features are selected by running the
built-in Setup utility. System configuration settings are saved in a portion of battery-backed RAM
in the real-time clock device and are used by the BIOS to initialize the system at boot-up or reset.
The configuration is protected by a checksum word for system integrity.
To access the Setup utility, press F2 during the system RAM check at boot-up. When Setup runs,
an interactive configuration screen displays. Refer to
Figure 5, “Setup Screen” on page 27
for an
example.
Setup parameters are divided into different categories. The available categories are listed in a menu
across the top of the Setup screen. The parameters within the highlighted (current) category are
listed in the main (left) portion of the Setup screen. Context sensitive help is displayed in the right
portion of the screen for each parameter. A legend of keys is listed at the bottom of the Setup
screen.
Use the left and right arrow keys to select a category from the menu. Use the up and down arrow
keys to select a parameter in the main portion of the screen. Use the + or – keys to change the value
of a parameter.
Solid arrows next to menu items in the main screen indicate submenus. To display a submenu, use
the up and down arrow keys to highlight the submenu and then press Enter.
