4 4. BIOS Setup This chapter describes the BIOS settings of the V2101 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 configurations of these basic input/output peripherals.
V2101 Hardware BIOS Setup Entering the BIOS Setup Utility To enter the BIOS setup utility, press the “Del” key while the system is booting up. The main BIOS Setup screen will appear. A basic description of each function key is listed at the bottom of the screen. Refer to these descriptions to learn how to scroll about the screen, how to select by pressing “Enter,” and how to use the other hot keys listed below.
V2101 Hardware BIOS Setup to “System,” the password must be entered both at boot up and when entering the BIOS Setup Menu.

V2101 Hardware BIOS Setup Exit Without Saving Abandon all changes made during the current session and exit setup. A confirmation message will be displayed before proceeding. Upgrading the BIOS This section describes how to upgrade the BIOS. However, please note that upgrading the BIOS involves high risk of damage to your computer. We strongly recommend that you contact Moxa’s TS staff for assistance and obtain all necessary tools and files before attempting to upgrade. Step 1: Create a Bootable USB Disk.
V2101 Hardware BIOS Setup ATTENTION We suggest you use a USB drive with under 2 GB in disk space, as larger USB drives may not support FAT file format and consequently fail to boot. Step 2: Prepare the Upgrade Tool and BIOS Binary File. You must use the BIOS upgrade installation file to upgrade the BIOS. You can download it from the Moxa Download Center at: http://web4.moxa.com/support/download_center.asp 1. Get the BIOS upgrade installation file. The file name should have following format: 210010.s00.
V2101 Hardware BIOS Setup 5. Press “+” to move it up to the first priority, and press “Esc” to exit the setup menu. 6. Make sure the first boot device is Hard Disk. If it isn’t, press Enter to change it. 7. Select Exit Save & Exit Setup and then press Enter. 8. Choose Y to save to the CMOS and then exit.
V2101 Hardware BIOS Setup Step 4: Run awdflash.exe to upgrade the BIOS. 1. While in the BIOS Setup menu and before upgrading the BIOS, you may choose to save the old BIOS files to a specific location. Type Y to do so, or N to begin the upgrade. 2. If the BIOS Setup is correct, it will restart and boot from the USB disk. 3. Run awdflash 210010.S00 from the command line to upgrade the BIOS. Replace xxxxxxx.Sxx with the BIOS binary file name discussed in Step 2. 4.
