FMT 3000 Hardware Reference Manual - Installation
CMOS Setup
The unit is shipped with a factory default system setup, and in most cases should not need to
be modified. In general, only run the setup program if a floppy drive is added, or hard disk
controller is added in the PC/104 expansion slot, or the system clock speed is changed (which
also requires jumper changes).
Setup Using the 4 X 40 LCD Display
This setup mode is not currently supported, but will be available in the near future.
Setup Using a VGA Display
To use this setup mode, a VGA display monitor and installed PC/104 VGA adapter card and
an external keyboard is required.
The Setup program is located within the BIOS and can be activated during the power up
sequence by pressing the <DEL> key. Run the BIOS Setup utility when a change to the system
configuration is made, particularly if a PC/104 type floppy or hard disk drive controller card
is added, to change the system clock speed, to change the power management settings, or to
add or change a system password. Other minor setup options can also be configured. The
BIOS Setup utility does NOT need to be run if memory is added (or removed) from the system
since this is automatically detected. Also, the BIOS need NOT be changed if any PCMCIA
type card is added since all PCMCIA devices are controlled through specific driver software.
Caution
The system may malfunction with an improperly configured setup.
In almost all applications or installations, there is no need to change the system BIOS settings
from the default configuration set at the factory.
The BIOS Setup main screen is shown in
. To run one of the options, select the
topic using the arrow keys and press <ENTER>. Each of the items in the main menu is briefly
described. More detail is provided for each available configuration screen.
Once a setup topic has been entered, exit the current setup screen by pressing the <ESC> key.
To select an item to modify within a setup topic, first use the arrow keys to highlight item.
Next, scroll through the options for the highlighted item using the <PgUp> or <PgDn> keys
to choose the desired setting.
