The BIOS Setup Utility
Configuration
After the D6-IN system board and all hardware is in-
stalled, the system is ready for configuration. Before
turning on the computer, make sure all cables are cor-
rectly connected and all jumpers are correctly set.
It is recommended you keep the computer cover off the
first time you boot the system. This will make it easier to
correct any difficulties that might arise.
Initial Boot Up
Power up the D6-IN. If the system does not properly
boot, check all your cables and peripherals for bad
connections. You may also get beep codes or error
messages. If this occurs, consult Appendices B and/or C
for a guide to possible solutions.
After the system properly boots, it is ready to be config-
ured. The following information explains the proper
procedures for BIOS configuration.
Setup
The Setup program is used to configure the computer’s
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). The computer’s
BIOS is responsible for configuring the system board and
providing hardware information to the operating system.
In order for the computer to run properly, run the Setup
procedure after first installing the system board and
whenever you make a hardware change to the system.
