154 Thor VM1 with Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 2009 User Guide
BIOS
The Microsoft Windows operating system is installed before shipping. The default BIOS
parameters are configured at that time. In most cases, it is unnecessary to modify the
BIOS parameters.
Generally, it is only necessary to enter the BIOS setup to change the boot order of the
drives.
This section is not intended to detail all features of the BIOS, instead it is intended to
cover the most commonly used setup options.
Accessing the BIOS Setup
When the Embedded BIOS screen (Phoenix Technologies) is displayed press the Del key
to enter BIOS setup.
Use the arrow keys to move around the screen.
Boot Order
To view or edit the boot order, select the Boot tab.
By default, the first device in the boot order is USB Hard Drive.
The second device is the Windows CE Image.
Exiting BIOS Setup
To exit the BIOS setup, select the Exit tab and select from these options:
• Save Setting and Restart
• Exit Setup without Saving Changes
• Reload Factory-Defaults and Restart
•
Caution: Be very careful when using this utility to modify BIOS Setup
parameters. The Thor VM1 may generate unexpected results
when incorrect or conflicting parameter values are entered.
Selecting incorrect or invalid options may require the Thor VM1
to be returned for repairs.
The parameters should only be modified by Information
Services personnel or the system administrator
If a USB drive, such as a thumb drive is attached to the Thor VM1, the device
attempts to boot from the USB drive:
• If the USB drive contains a bootable sector, the Thor VM1 boots from the
USB drive.
• If the USB drive does not contain a bootable sector, the Thor VM1 does
not boot. Remove the USB drive and boot the Thor VM1 again.
