BIOS Setup Description
The BIOS setup description of the conga-MA5 can be viewed without having access to the module. However, access to the restricted area of
the congatec website is required in order to download the necessary tool (CgMlfViewer) and Menu Layout File (MLF).
The MLF contains the BIOS setup description of a particular BIOS revision. The MLF can be viewed with the CgMlfViewer tool. This tool offers
a search function to quickly check for supported BIOS features. It also shows where each feature can be found in the BIOS setup menu.
