4.1 BIOS and boot agent settings
The BIOS and boot agent of the single board computer (SBC) gets pre-configured at the factory. If there is any-
how the need to access one of them some hardware configuration must be done.
There exist multiple versions of the single board computer.
The current version is the SBC/2. It can be recognized by its usage of two slot plates, please refer
also to section
3.2.2 Single board computer.
Its predecessor is the version SBC 566 MHz. It uses just one slot plate. It reports during startup
566 MHz processor speed.
4.1.1 Entering the BIOS or boot agent
To access the BIOS, the SBC must be connected to a monitor and a keyboard, therefore follow the steps below:
• Halt the H
YDRA COMPACT. When the HYDRA COMPACT has halted, switch it off by the power switch [5] on the front
of it, see section
3.3.3 Switching off.
• Connect a monitor to the VGA connector [2] of the single board computer and a PS/2 keyboard to the PS/2
keyboard/mouse connector [6] of the single board computer, see section
3.2.2 Single board computer.
• Switch on the H
YDRA COMPACT by pressing the power switch [5] of the HYDRA COMPACT again.
• Keep the DEL key of the keyboard pressed until the BIOS setup has started. If the DEL key was pressed too
late and the possibility to enter the setup has passed, restart the H
YDRA COMPACT with the key combination
