tem features. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the BIOS Setup Utility

Entering Setup

Turn on the computer and check for the patch code. If there is a number assigned to
the patch code, it means that the BIOS supports your CPU. If there is no number
assigned to the patch code, please contact an Advantech application engineer to
obtain an up-to-date patch code file. This will ensure that your CPU's system status is
valid. After ensuring that you have a number assigned to the patch code, press
<DEL> and you will immediately be allowed to enter Setup.
