The moth erboard uses Whizpro BIOS, stored in a flash EEPROM. All of the configuration
information stored in the CMOS.
4.1 BIOS Setup
The Whizpro BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer.
The BIOS reads system configuration information in CMOS RAM and begins the
process of checking the system and configuring it through the Power-On-Self-Test
(POST). When these preliminaries are finished, the BIOS seek an operation system
on the data storage devices (hard drive, floppy drive, etc.). The BIOS launches the
operating system and hands over control of system operation to it.
To start Setup, press the <F2> key during boot-up before or while a message similar
to this appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST: Press <F2> key if
you want to enter SETUP
If the above message disappears before you have responded and you still wish to
enter Setup, reboot the system to try again by pressing the “RESET” button on the
system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing the <CTRL>, <ALT>
and <DEL> keys.
