BIOS Setup Information
WADE-8016 is equipped with the AMI BIOS stored in Flash ROM. These BIOS
has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system
configuration easily. This type of information is stored in CMOS RAM so that it is
retained during power-off periods. When system is turned on, WADE-8016
communicates with peripheral devices and checks its hardware resources against
the configuration information stored in the CMOS memory. If any error is
detected, or the CMOS parameters need to be initially defined, the diagnostic
program will prompt the user to enter the SETUP program. Some errors are
significant enough to abort the start up.
