4. BIOS Configuration
Introduction
The EPC-5A uses the Phoenix NuBIOS to configure and select various system
options. This section details the various menus and sub-menus that are used to
configure the system. This section is written as though you are setting up each field
in sequence and for the first time. Your system may be pre-configured and require
very little setup.
Some error messages might occur during the execution of the BIOS initialization
sequence. If errors occur during the power-on self-test (POST), the BIOS will display
the error on the appropriate line of the screen display and, depending on how your
system is configured, will either pause or attempt to continue.
BIOS Setup Screens
The EPC-5A's BIOS contains a setup function to display and modify the system
configuration. This information is maintained in the EPC-5A's nonvolatile CMOS
RAM and is used by the BIOS to initialize the EPC-5A hardware.
The BIOS Setup can only be entered during the system reset process, following a
power-up, front panel reset, or equivalent. Press the F2 key when prompted to enter
Setup.
Note
The "Press F2 to Enter Setup" prompt may be suppressed (see
Boot Options Sub-menu, Setup Prompt), but the F2 key still
invokes the BIOS Setup program during system reset.
BIOS setup is accomplished by making selections from a series of menus, as shown in
the following figure.
