Chapter 4 BIOS Setup
Introduction
This section assumes the user is familiar with BIOS Setup and does not attempt to describe the inner
workings of BIOS functions. Refer to the appropriate PC reference manuals for information about the on-
board, ROM-BIOS software interface. If ADLINK has added to or modified the standard functions, these
functions will be described.
Entering BIOS Setup (VGA Display)
To enter BIOS Setup using a VGA display for the LittleBoard 735:
1. Turn on the VGA monitor and the power supply to the LittleBoard 735.
2. Start Setup by pressing the [Del] key, when the following message appears on the boot screen.
Press DEL to run Setup
3. Use the <Enter> key to select the screen menus listed in the Opening BIOS screen.
4. Follow the instructions at the bottom of each screen to navigate through the selections and modify any
settings.
Entering BIOS Setup (Serial Console)
Entering the BIOS Setup, in serial console mode, is very similar to the steps you use to enter BIOS Setup
with a VGA display, except the actual keys you use.
1. Set the serial terminal, or the PC with communications software to the following settings:
♦
115k baud
♦
8 bits
♦
One stop bit
♦
No parity
♦
No hardware handshake
2. Connect the serial console, or the PC with serial terminal emulation, to Serial Port 1 or Serial Port 2 of
the LittleBoard 735.
♦
If the BIOS option, Serial Console is set to [Enable], use a standard null-modem serial cable.
♦
If the BIOS option, Serial Console is set to [Hot Cable], use the modified serial cable described in
Chapter 3, under Hot (Serial) Cable.
3. Turn on the serial console or the PC with serial terminal emulation and the power supply to the
LittleBoard 735.
4. Start Setup by pressing the Ctl–c keys, when the following message appears on the boot screen.
Hit ^C if you want to run SETUP
NOTE If the setting for Memory Test is set to Fast, you may not see this prompt appear
on screen if the monitor is too slow to display it on start up. If this happens, press
the <Del> key early in the boot sequence to enter BIOS Setup.
