BIOS Setup

The SIMB-354 Series is equipped with built-in AMI BIOS and a CMOS Setup Utility
that allows users to configure specific settings or activate certain system features.
The CMOS Setup Utility saves the configuration in the CMOS RAM of the mother-
board. When the system power is turned off, the battery on the board supplies the
necessary power to preserve the CMOS RAM.
When the power is turned on, press the <Del> button during the BIOS power-on self-
test (POST) to access the CMOS Setup Utility screen.
