3.1 System Test and Initialization

The GENE-CML5 board uses certain routines to perform testing and initialization
during the boot up sequence. If an error, fatal or non-fatal, is encountered, the module will
output a few short beeps or display an error message. The module can usually continue the
boot up sequence with non-fatal errors.
The system configuration verification routines check the current system configuration
against the values stored in the CMOS memory and BIOS NVRAM. If a system configuration
is not found or an error is detected, the module will load the default configuration and
reboot automatically.
There are four situations in which you will need to setup system configuration:
1. You are starting your system for the first time
2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system
3. The system configuration was reset by the Clear-CMOS jumper
4. The CMOS memor y has lost power and the configuration information has been erased.
The system CMOS memor y has an integral lithium batter y backup for data retention. You
will need to replace the batter y unit when it runs down.
