Function Introduction . XPC Introduction The Shuttle XPC is the original high-performance Small Form Factor (SFF) computer. Since the first model was introduced in 200, the XPC has become the world’s best- selling SFF computer brand. Each Shuttle XPC is sold as a ”barebone” computer~chassis, power supply and motherboard. The user must add his own processor, memory, drives and, as ap- plicable, expansion cards. The XPC has been designed to be easily assembled and configured directly by the end user. Consumers can choose to buy preconfigured, ready-to-run XPC’s as well~a list of Shuttle-authorized value-added resellers can be found at www.shuttle.com. The Shuttle XPC owes its popularity to its unique combination of small-size, high- performance and near universal component compatibility. However, unlike ordinary desktop computers, Shuttle XPC’s have been engineered as complete systems. The XPC concept can be summarized as: Use of high-performance, industry-standard components; Minimum size possible,...

Appendix BIOS Settings The SX48P2 BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify basic system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains Setup information even if the system power is turned off. The system BIOS manages and executes variety of hardware related functions in- cluding: System date and time Hardware execution sequence Power management functions Allocation of system resources Enter the BIOS To enter the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) utility, follow these steps: Step. Power on the computer. The system will perform its POST (Power-On Self Test) routine checks. Step2. Press the <Del> key immediately, or at the following message: Press DEL to enter SETUP, or simultaneously press <Ctrl>,<Alt>, <Esc> keys . If you miss wordings mentioned in step2 (the message disappears before you can respond) and you still wish to enter BIOS Setup, restart the system and try again by turning the computer OFF and ON again or by pressing the <RESET> switch located at the computer’s front-panel. You may also reboot by simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>,<Alt>, <Del> keys simultaneously.
The Main Menu Once you enter the AwardBIOS(tm) CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept and enter the sub-menu. Note that a brief description of each highlighted selection appears at the bottom of the screen. Setup Items The main menu includes the following main setup categories. Recall that some systems may not include all entries. Standard CMOS Features Use this menu for basic system configuration. Advanced BIOS Features Use this menu to set the Advanced Features available on your system. Integrated Peripherals Use this menu to specify your settings for integrated peripherals.
