BIOS Configuration and System Recovery
You can change the configuration settings for the IC-317x in the BIOS setup utility. The BIOS
is the low-level interface between the hardware and PC software that configures and tests your
hardware when you boot the system. The BIOS setup utility includes menus for configuring
settings and enabling features.
Most users do not need to use the BIOS setup utility. The system ships with default settings
that work well for most configurations.
Entering BIOS Setup
Complete the following steps to start the BIOS setup utility.
1.
Connect a monitor to one of the DisplayPort connectors on the IC-317x.
2.
Connect a USB keyboard to one of the USB ports on the IC-317x.
3.
Power on or reboot the IC-317x.
4.
Immediately hold down the <Delete> key until the BIOS setup utility appears.
The Main setup menu is displayed when you first enter the BIOS setup utility.
