4.2 BIOS Setup Menu

The BIOS comes with a set of configuration parameters when shipped by Advantech referred to as

"Optimized Defaults" or "factory defaults". The user can change BIOS settings via the setup menu either

temporarily or permanently by saving the changes as "User defaults".

The BIOS loads Optimized Defaults by the option "Restore Defaults; and loads User defaults by the

option "Restore User Defaults". If no User defaults have been defined, the BIOS will do nothing.
