BIOS setup
BIOS setup is used to carry out important basic settings that are necessa-
ry to ensure that the POS system runs perfectly. These include the setting
of the date and time, the assignment of a specific logical drive name (A: or
B:) for the BEETLE card or floppy disk, and hard disk settings.
There are a number of different ways of calling setup:
If you are using a standard PC keyboard, you can press the Ctrl, Alt
and ESC keys simultaneously during startup.
Setup is called if the keyswitch of the POS keyboard is in position 4
during startup.
If there is a configuration error, you can decide whether to ignore the
error or call setup.
The default output medium of the BEETLE POS system is the cashier
display. When a VGA monitor is connected, output is sent to it instead.
If no monitor is connected although a VGA adapter is instal-
led, the system messages are not displayed at all.
If there is no VGA adapter, you have to set the display entry to “MONO” or
“OPERATOR” (80486DX2/66 processor and higher). The output will then
appear on the connected cashier display.
The following entries in the menus are to be understood as examples.If
you are in any doubt, consult the configuration label.
If your BEETLE/20 is equipped with a Pentium type processor, you will be
provided with a separate booklet. The BIOS-Setup for Pentium type
processors is described in this booklet.
