Chapter 3 BIOS Setup
This chapter describes the BIOS settings of the DA-710 embedded computers. The BIOS is a set
of input/output control routines for peripherals. The BIOS is used to initialize basic peripherals
and helps boot the operating system before the operating system is loaded. The BIOS setup allows
the user to modify the system configuration of these basic input/output peripherals. The
configuration is stored in the battery-powered CMOS RAM, which retains the system information
after system reboots or the power is disconnected.
