Cmos Setup Defaults; Default Cmos Ram Setup Values; Saving Cmos Setup Parameters As Custom Defaults - VersaLogic Python EBX-11 Reference Manual

CMOS Setup Defaults

The EBX-11 permits users to modify the CMOS Setup defaults. This allows the system to boot
up with user-defined settings if CMOS RAM is cleared or corrupted. All CMOS setup defaults
can be changed, except the time and date. The CMOS Setup defaults can be updated with the
Flash BIOS Update (FBU) Utility, available from the
Warning! If the CMOS Setup default settings make the system unbootable and prevent the user
from entering CMOS Setup, the EBX-11 needs to be serviced by the factory.

After the CMOS RAM is cleared, the system will load default CMOS RAM parameters the next
time the board is powered on. The default CMOS RAM setup values will be used in order to boot
the system whenever the main CMOS RAM values are blank, or when the system battery is dead
or has been removed from the board.

AVING
To save CMOS Setup parameters to custom defaults, you will need a DOS bootable floppy with
the FBU utility on it.
1. Boot the EBX-11 and enter CMOS Setup by pressing Delete during the early boot cycle.
2. Change the CMOS parameters as desired and configure the floppy drive as the first boot
device:
Basic CMOS Configuration | BOOT ORDER | Boot 1st: Drive A:
3. Save the settings and exit CMOS Setup.
4. Reboot the system from the DOS boot floppy.
5. Run FBU and select Save CMOS contents. A file named CMOS.BIN is created and
saved to the floppy.
6. Select the FBU option Load Custom CMOS defaults. A directory of the floppy is
displayed.
7. Select the CMOS.BIN file and press the P key to program the new CMOS defaults.
8. Reboot the system from the hard disk. The custom CMOS parameters are now saved as
defaults.
