PCWS 2015 Setup Guide - 2nd Edition 2-27
PCWS 2015 BIOS
Advanced
Power Failure Restoration [Last State]
This selection determines how the PCWS 2015 recovers from a power
failure, should it occur during operation.
The default selection of [Last State] causes the workstation to return to the
previous power state before AC power failed. For example, if the PCWS
2015 is ON and AC power suddenly fails, it automatically restarts when
AC power is restored.
Conversely, if the 2015 is in the NOPOWER (Soft-Off) state when AC
power fails, it remains in the NOPOWER state when AC power is restored.
Other selections include [Power On] and [Remain Off].
The [Remain Off] setting requires the user to press the power button to
restart the unit after AC power is restored.
The [Power On] setting causes the unit to automatically power-up when the
AC power cable is connected to the unit or when AC power is restored
after an AC Power failure.
SATA Port 2 [Enabled]
On 2015 Revision C Boards, the BIOS temporarily disables SATA Port 2 at
start-up to avoid excessive delays at boot time if a CF card is not installed.
WIN32 Factory Recovery [Disabled]
Enable or Disable the WIN32 Factory Recovery.
WIN32 Factory Recovery requires an optional PCWS 2015 Recovery CF
for each supported operating system, currently POSReady 2009 and
Windows 7 Professional.
When you install the Recovery CF and set this field to [Enabled], the BIOS
changes the system boot order to boot from the Recovery CF.
Each Recovery CF contains a pre-boot environment and start-up scripts
that automatically start the GHOST utility and transfer the factory (or user
specified) image to the PCWS 2015 boot device. When the image transfer
is complete, the workstation re-starts and boot order is reset to the previous
configuration.
BIOS Version 1301g or later optionally adds the ability to require a
password to start the recovery CF.
If you have BIOS O1301g or later, see page 2-32 to configure the
Supervisor password that will be required to start the Recovery CF.
See Chapter 4 for more information about using the Recovery CF.
