3. Technical Information
3.1 BIOS Setup
The PowerBrick-CV uses the Phoenix TrustedCore BIOS which based on
the Intel® Core™ Duo, Core 2 Duo, Celeron™ M processors and Intel
mobile 945GM Express and ICH7-M chipsets. With high performance and
integrated audio and video capabilities. And also it is designed for
extended environmental temperature operation up to 70ºC, so it is ideal for
use in space-constrained systems and high-temperature environments.
The system BIOS performs a Power On Self Test (POST) upon power on
or reset. If problems are encountered during POST, the following may
occur:
ƒ A warning message is displayed on the primary display device
but the boot process continues.
ƒ The system is halted when a terminal (fatal) POST error occurs.
Before shutting down the system, however, the error handler will
attempt to communicate the cause of the error condition, by
writing the error to port 80h, sounding a beep code, and listing
the error code on the display.
After POST completes, the system BIOS will search for boot devices in
the order configured by the BIOS setup utility and load the operating
system from the first boot device found. To activate BIOS setup program,
press <F2>key immediately after you turn on the system. Table 3.1 is the
BIOS setup utility menu map.
