BIOS Settings
The SS21T BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify basic
system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed RAM so that it re-
tains Setup information even if the system power is turned off.
The system BIOS manages and executes a variety of hardware related functions
including:
System date and time
Hardware execution sequence
Power management functions
Allocation of system resources
Enter the BIOS
To enter the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) utility, follow these steps:
Step1. Power on the computer. The system will perform its POST (Power-On
Self Test) routine checks.
Step2. Press the <Del> key immediately, or at the following message:
Press DEL to enter SETUP, or simultaneously press <Ctrl>,<Alt>,
<Esc> keys
Note 1. If you miss the train of words mentioned in step2 (the message disap-
pears before you can respond) and you still wish to enter BIOS Setup,
restart the system and try again by turning the computer OFF and
ON again or by pressing the <RESET> switch located at the
computer’s front-panel. You may also reboot by simultaneously
pressing the <Ctrl>,<Alt>, <Del> keys simultaneously.
Note 2. If you do not press the keys in time and system does not boot, the
screen will prompt an error message, and you will be given the
following options:
"Press F1 to Continue, DEL to Enter Setup”
Step3. When you enter the BIOS program, the CMOS Setup Utility will display the
Main Menu, as shown in the next section.
