Bios Setting - Contec IPC Series User Manual

Serial ATA
Unlike IDE bus, each Serial ATA channel can only connect to one SATA hard disk at a time;
The installation of Serial ATA is simpler and easier than IDE, because SATA hard disk doesn't require setting
up Master and Slave, which can reduce mistake of hardware installation.
GSPI-Q3700-LLVA can support four SATA interface (SATAIII, 6.0Gb/s) on board. It has SATA ports on
board.

◆BIOS Setting

It is assumed that users have correctly adopted modules and connected all the devices cables required before
turning on ATX power. DDR4 So-DIMM Memory, keyboard, mouse, SATA hard disk, VGA connector,
power cable of the device, ATX accessories are good examples that deserve attention. With no assurance of
properly and correctly accommodating these modules and devices, it is very possible to encounter system
failures that result in malfunction of any device.
To make sure that you have a successful start with GSPI-Q3700-LLVA, it is recommended, when going with
the boot-up sequence, to hit "delete" or "ESC" key and enter the BIOS setup menu to tune up a stable BIOS
configuration so that you can wake up your system far well.
Loading the default optimal setting
When prompted with the main setup menu, please scroll down to "Restore Defaults", press "Enter" and select
"Yes" to load default optimal BIOS setup. This will force your BIOS setting back to the initial factory
configurations. It is recommended to do this so you can be sure the system is running with the BIOS setting
that Contec has highly endorsed. As a matter of fact, users can load the default BIOS setting at any time when
system appears to be unstable in boot up sequence.
