BIOS Configuration
EPC-100 Hardware Reference 3-1
Chapter 3 - BIOS
Configuration
Introduction
The EPC-100 uses the Phoenix NuBIOS to configure and select various system
options. This section details the various menus and sub-menus that are used to
configure the system. This section 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.
Note: If at any time you wish to revert to the original BIOS settings, select Get
Default Values from the Exit Menu, described in this chapter. This restores the
original BIOS settings.
Some error messages might occur during the execution of the BIOS
initialization sequence. If errors occur during the power-on self-test (POST), the
BIOS will display the error on the appropriate line of the screen display and,
depending on how your system is configured, will either pause or attempt to continue.
Refer to Appendix D - Error Messages & Diagnosis.
BIOS Setup Screens
The EPC-100’s BIOS contains a setup function to display and modify the system
configuration. This information is maintained in the EPC-100’s nonvolatile CMOS
RAM and is used by the BIOS to initialize the EPC-100 hardware.
The BIOS Setup can only be entered during the system reset process, following a
power-up, front panel reset, or equivalent. Press the F2 key when prompted to enter
Setup.
Note: The "Press F2 to enter Setup" prompt may be suppressed (see Boot
Options Sub-Menu, SETUP Prompt) , but the F2 key still invokes the BIOS
Setup program during system reset.
