BIOS Configuration and System Recovery

You can change the configuration settings for the IC-317x in the BIOS setup utility. The BIOS
is the low-level interface between the hardware and PC software that configures and tests your
hardware when you boot the system. The BIOS setup utility includes menus for configuring
settings and enabling features.
Most users do not need to use the BIOS setup utility. The system ships with default settings
that work well for most configurations.

Entering BIOS Setup

Complete the following steps to start the BIOS setup utility.
1. Connect a monitor to one of the DisplayPort connectors on the IC-317x.
2. Connect a USB keyboard to one of the USB ports on the IC-317x.
3. Power on or reboot the IC-317x.
4. Immediately hold down the <Delete> key until the BIOS setup utility appears.
The Main setup menu is displayed when you first enter the BIOS setup utility.

BIOS Setup Utility Keyboard Navigation

Use the following keys to navigate through the BIOS setup utility:
- Provides information on which IC-317x port to connect to an IEEE
- Provides information on which link speed optimizes IEEE 1588
- Provides information on modifying system time on the IC-317x
