Resetting Factory Defaults
The PPM-GX500 can normally be returned to the factory default BIOS configuration
by selecting option
L. Load Defaults
on the BIOS Main Menu. Make sure to save the
factory defaults to CMOS RAM and the EEPROM using the options on the BIOS Main
Menu.
If the console is disabled, the board can be reset to factory defaults as follows:
1) Install a jumper at
J1
(1-2).
2) Power on and enter the BIOS Main Menu using the
F1
key.
3) Select
L. Load Defaults
and save values to CMOS RAM.
4) Power off system.
5) Remove jumper at
J1
(1-2).
6) Power on and enter the BIOS Main Menu using the
F1
key.
7) Save the values to EEPROM.
Resetting to EEPROM defaults
To verify the contents of the EEPROM or reset the CMOS RAM to stored values,
momentarily move the jumper from
J1
(7-8) to
J1
(5-6) and then return jumper to
(7-8) with the system power off. The next time power is applied to the board, the
BIOS configuration that is stored in EEPROM will be loaded to the CMOS RAM.
Updating the BIOS FLASH PROM
The most recent PPM-GX500 BIOS is available on the WinSystems website, but it is
highly recommended that an Applications Engineer be consulted prior to any BIOS
FLASH PROM update. If a BIOS update is required, please follow the steps Resetting
Factory Defaults above to ensure that the data from a previous version is cleared from
EEPROM.
