BIOS Configuration Overview
This topic presents an introduction to the ZT 5504's BIOS. For more detailed information about
the BIOS and other utilities, see the Intel NetStructure Embedded BIOS Manual available on
the Intel Website.
The BIOS has many separately configurable features. These features are selected by running
the built-in Setup utility. System configuration settings are saved in a portion of battery-backed
RAM in the real-time clock device and are used by the BIOS to initialize the system at boot-up
or reset. The configuration is protected by a checksum word for system integrity.
To access the Setup utility, press F2 during the system RAM check at boot-up. When Setup
runs, an interactive configuration screen displays. Refer to the following
illustration for an example.
Setup parameters are divided into different categories. The available categories are listed in a
menu across the top of the Setup screen. The parameters within the highlighted (current)
category are listed in the main (left) portion of the Setup screen. Context sensitive help is
displayed in the right portion of the screen for each parameter. A legend of keys is listed at the
bottom of the Setup screen.
Use the left and right arrow keys to select a category from the menu. Use the up and down
arrow keys to select a parameter in the main portion of the screen. Use the + or – keys to
change the value of a parameter.
Solid arrows next to menu items in the main screen indicate submenus. To display a submenu,
use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the submenu and then press Enter.
