Configure the UEFI (BIOS) Settings
Each VersaView® 6300B box PC and 6300T thin client has a set-up utility,
which is a hardware configuration program that is built into the universal
extensible firmware interface (UEFI). In this chapter, UEFI replaces Basic
Input/Output System (BIOS) to describe the system firmware except where
BIOS is used.
You can run the set-up utility to do the following:
• Change the system configuration.
• Set the time and date as part of a commissioning step.
• Redefine communication ports to help prevent any conflicts.
• Read the current amount of system memory.
• Change the boot drive order.
• Set or change the password or make other changes to the security
settings.
Access the Set-up Utility
Follow these steps to access the set-up utility in your thin client or computer.
1. Start or restart your computer.
2. During POST, you have two selections to access the set-up utility.
3. The following screens are accessible through the set-up utility:
• Main (default screen when you access the utility)
• Advanced
• Security
•Boot
•Exit
A commissioning step is one of the following situations:
• When the VersaView 6300B box PC or 6300T thin client is powered up initially
• When the Windows OS image is restored (only on VersaView 6300B box PCs)
• When the UEFI set-up utility is upgraded
IMPORTANT An external display and keyboard must be connected to the computer to perform
these steps.
