Running The Bios Setup - Advantech UTC-315 POS Series User Manual

2.3 Running the BIOS Setup

In most cases, the device will have been setup and configured by the dealer prior to
delivery. Nonetheless, some users may need to access the UTC-315 POS' BIOS
(Basic Input-Output System) setup program to configure the system data, such as
the current date/time and hard drive type. The BIOS setup program is stored in read-
only memory (ROM) and can be accessed during system power up/reset by pressing
"Del" on the keyboard.
The settings specified are then stored in a special area of memory called CMOS
RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery to ensure data retention when the sys-
tem is shut down or reset. Whenever powered up, the system reads the settings
stored in CMOS RAM and compares them to the results of the equipment check con-
ducted during the power on self-test (POST). If an error occurs, an onscreen error
notification will be displayed prompting users to run the setup program.
