The AM4024(E) is provided with a Kontron-customized, pre-installed and configured version of Secu-
reCore Tiano™ (referred to as uEFI BIOS in this manual), Phoenix BIOS firmware based on the Unified
Extensible Firmware Interface (uEFI) specification and the Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for
EFI. This uEFI BIOS provides a variety of new and enhanced functions specifically tailored to the hard-
ware features of the AM4024(E).
The uEFI BIOS comes with a Setup program which provides quick and easy access to the individual func-
tion settings for control or modification of the uEFI BIOS configuration. The Setup program allows the
accessing of various menus which provide functions or access to sub-menus with more specific func-
tions of their own.
To start the uEFI BIOS Setup program, follow the steps below:
1.
Power on the board.
2.
Wait until the first characters appear on the screen (POST messages or splash screen).
3.
Press the <F2> key.
4.
If the uEFI BIOS is password-protected, a request for password will appear.
Enter either the User Password or the Supervisor Password (see Security Setup menu), press
<RETURN>, and proceed with step 5.
5.
A Setup menu will appear.
The AM4024(E) uEFI BIOS Setup program uses a hot key-based navigation system. A hot key legend bar
is located on the bottom of the Setup screens. The following table provides information concerning the
usage of these hot keys.
