Bios Setup Menu - Advantech FWA-T011 User Manual

FWA-T011 BIOS is based on AMI's APTIO BIOS and compliant to the UEFI, SMBIOS
and ACPI specifications.
The BIOS performs probing, initialization and configuration of the FWA-T011 and ini-
tializes the OS boot process at the end of POST (Power-On-Self-Test).
Regular BIOS output as well as the setup menu are displayed via console port and
please note that the FWA-T011 does not have any on-board POST Code LEDs. A
special POST code adapter is required to retrieve BIOS error codes.
All BIOS configuration parameters bare stored in NVRAM, a dedicated section of the
BIOS flash chip. Parameters are no longer stored in legacy CMOS RAM by the plat-
form BIOS. I.e. BIOS configuration parameters will not be lost due to an empty bat-
tery.
3.1 BIOS Defaults
The BIOS comes with a set of configuration parameters when shipped by Advantech
referred to as "Optimized Defaults" or "factory defaults". The user can change BIOS
settings via the setup menu either temporarily or permanently by saving the changes
as "User defaults".
The BIOS loads Optimized Defaults by the option "Restore Defaults; and loads User
defaults by the option "Restore User Defaults". If no User defaults have been defined,
the BIOS will do nothing.
