Running the BIOS Setup Program

Your POC-W243L series was probably set up and configured by your dealer prior to
delivery. You may still find it necessary to use the BIOS (Basic Input-Output System)
setup program to change system configuration information, such as the current date
and time or your type of hard drive. The setup program is stored in read-only mem-
ory. It can be accessed either when you turn on or reset the panel PC, by pressing
the "F2 or Del" key on your keyboard immediately after powering on the computer.
The settings you specify with the setup program are recorded in a special area of
memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery so that it will not
be erased when you turn off or reset the system. Whenever you turn on the power,
the system reads the settings stored in CMOS RAM and compares them to the
equipment check conducted during the power on self-test (POST). If an error occurs,
an error message will be displayed on screen, and you will be prompted to run the
setup program.
