Configuring with the BIOS Setup program

The cpuModule Setup program allows you to customize the cpuModule's configuration. Selections

made in Setup are stored on the board and read by the BIOS at power-on.

Setup for this cpuModule is called CMV6SETA. It is in three places:

• In the board's BIOS ROM, activated by the {Delete} key during boot

• In the Utility SSD provided in the first SSD socket

• On the utility disk supplied with the cpuModule.

The following section explains how to start Setup.

Starting Setup

You can run Setup one of several ways:

• Re-boot the cpuModule, and hold down the {Delete} key.

• Install default jumper JP5, boot the cpuModule, and press the {Delete} key.

• Boot the cpuModule, change to the Utility SSD, and run CMV6SETA.EXE.

• Boot the cpuModule, change to a diskette containing CMV6SETA.EXE, and run

CMV6SETA.

When you are finished with Setup, save yourchanges and exit. If you are using Setup from the BIOS,

the system will automatically reboot. Otherwise, you must manually do a hard reset, by pushing the

reset push-button or cycling power.

If jumper JP5 was installed, make sure you turn off the cpuModule, remove the jumper, and reboot

so the changes are recognized.

Using the Setup Program

All displays in Setup consist of two areas. The upper area lists the available selections. The lower

area displays help messages which you should always read.

Main Menu Options

From the Main menu, you may choose:

• Standard Setup to access commonly used settings for the keyboard, floppy drives, hard

disks, and SSD.

• Advanced Setup to access less-used settings for memory, the SSD, and error-handling.

• Save Changes and Exit to save your changes and exit Setup.

• Exit Without Saving Changes to leave Setup without saving your changes.

Normally you will use the first two selections to make changes to the cpuModule configuration, then

use the Save Changes and Exit selection.

The version of Setup in the BIOS ROM will automatically cause a hard reset after you exit.

The DOS version of Setup (in the utility SSD and on floppy disk) has two added options:

• Read settings from a File which reads settings from a file on a disk

• Save Settings to a File which saves settings to a file on disk

These allow users to configure large numbers of modules without manually entering the settings

each time.

The following sections describe each of these choices in detail.
