BIOS configuration
The EPC-3305 uses the Phoenix NuBIOS to configure and select various system
options. This chapter details the various menus and sub-menus used to configure
the system. This chapter is written as though you are setting up each field in
sequence and for the first time. Your system may be correctly pre-configured and
require very little setup.
You may see some error messages during the execution of the BIOS initialization
sequence. If errors occur during the POST (Power-On Self-Test), the BIOS displays
the error on the appropriate line of the screen display and, depending on how your
system is configured, either pauses or tries to continue. For information about error
messages, see Appendix D, Error messages.
Pressing the Escape key during POST displays the Boot-First pop-up menu after
POST completes. You can use this menu to override, for only this boot, the boot
options. This menu includes the same options as the Boot Menus top level. For
information about the options, see Boot menu on page 39.
BIOS Setup Screens
The EPC-3305s BIOS includes a setup program that displays and modifies the
system configuration. The EPC-3305s nonvolatile CMOS RAM stores
configuration information, and the BIOS uses it to initialize the EPC-3305
hardware.
You can enter the BIOS Setup only during the system reset process, following a
power-up, front panel reset, or equivalent. To enter Setup, press the F2 key
when prompted.
To revert to the original BIOS settings, select Get Default Values from the Exit
menu on page 40. This restores the original BIOS settings.
