4 Using the Module
4.1 BIOS
The Cool SpaceRunner-LX800 is delivered with an Insyde Technology XpressROM BIOS. The default
settings guarantee a "ready to run" system, even without a BIOS setup backup battery.
All setup changes of the BIOS are stored in the CMOS RAM. A copy of the CMOS RAM, excluding date
and time, is stored in the flash memory. This means that even if the backup battery runs out of
power, the BIOS settings are not lost. Only date and time will be reset to their default value.
The soldered battery will keep that information over 2 years without any activation of the board.
That depends on the use of the board. When power is up, the battery does not lose capacity.
With the remove of the jumper battery the life time of the battery can be increased. In that case the
battery only looses capacity over self-discharge.
The BIOS revision can be easily updated on-board with software under DOS.
Configuring the XpressROM BIOS
Pressing <F1> on power up starts the BIOS setup utility.
On the screen there are three separated parts:
