Entering Setup

After turning on the computer, users should see a POST (Power On Self-Test) screen
showing the BIOS supporting the CPU. If no number is assigned to the patch code,
please contact an Advantech application engineer to obtain an up-to-date patch code
file to ensure that the CPU system status is valid. After ensuring that a number is
assigned to the patch code, press <F2> or <DEL> for immediate access to the Setup.

Main Setup

Upon initially entering the BIOS setup utility, users land on the main setup screen.
Users can return to the main setup screen by selecting the Main tab. Two main setup
options are described in this section. The main BIOS setup screen is shown below.
The main BIOS setup menu screen comprises two primary frames. The left frame
displays all options that can be configured. The "grayed-out" options cannot be con-
figured, whereas the blue options can. The right frame displays the key legend. The
area above the key legend is reserved for text messages. When an option is selected
in the left frame, it appears highlighted in white and is often accompanied by a text
notification.
 System Time / System Date
Use this option to change the system time and date. Select "System Time" or
"System Date" using the <Arrow> keys. Enter new values using the keyboard.
Press the <Tab> or the <Arrow> keys to move between fields. The date must be
input in MM/DD/YY format. The time is input in HH:MM:SS format.
