UPERVISOR SER ASSWORD
The "SUPERVISOR/USER PASSWORD" utility sets the password. The SBC is
shipped with the password disabled. If you want to change the password, you must first
enter the current password, then at the prompt -- enter your new password. The
password is case sensitive, and can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters. Press
<Enter> after you have finished typing in the password. At the next prompt confirm the
new password by re-typing it and pressing <Enter> again. When you are done the
screen automatically reverts to the main screen. Remember that when you use this
feature, the "Security Option" line in BIOS FEATURES SETUP will determine when
entering the password will be required.
To disable the password, press the <Enter> key instead of entering a new password
when the "Enter Password" in the dialog box appears. A message will appear confirming
that the password is disabled.
If you have set both supervisor and user passwords, only the supervisor password will
allow you to enter the BIOS SETUP PROGRAM.
Note : If you forget your password, the only way to solve this problem is to discharge the
CMOS memory by turning the power off and placing a shunt on the S1 (open pad) for 5
seconds, then removing the shunt.

UTO ETECTION
If your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this utility to detect its parameters and
enter them into the Standard CMOS Setup automatically.
If the auto-detected parameters displayed do not match the ones that should used for
your hard drive, do not accept them. Press the <N> key to reject the values and enter
the correct ones manually on the Standard CMOS Setup screen.
Note : If you are setting up a new hard disk drive (with nothing on it) that supports LBA
mode, more than one line will appear in the parameter box, choose the line that lists LBA
for an LBA drive.
Do not choose Large or Normal if the hard disk drive is already fully formatted when you
install it, choose the mode "HDD Low Level Format" to format it.
