Instrument Shutdown

2-7 Configuration
This section describes the various aspects of the instrument configurations both inside and outside of the main
instrument software. The following system configurations are described below:
• BIOS Configuration
• Windows XP Configuration
• Analyzer Configuration
• Main Menu Tool Bar Configuration
BIOS Configuration
This section describes a few requirements of the BIOS setup.
The BIOS setup utility can be accessed by pressing F2 during the initial power up state when the Anritsu blue
screen appears. If the system proceeds to the Windows XP startup screen, the BIOS will not be entered and the
system will require a restart before BIOS entry can be attempted.
Once the BIOS setup utility is entered, changes can be made in the usual manner. USB BIOS Legacy
Support must remain disabled and the USB Host Controller must remain enabled. Failure to preserve
these setting may result in display malfunction.
Pressing F3 will load the BIOS Setup Defaults. Pressing F4 will save the current settings (including any
changes that were made) to BIOS and exit the BIOS setup utility.
Note: After turning off the instrument, you must wait at least 10 to 15 seconds before turning the instrument back
on again. This delay is required to allow the internal power supplies to discharge and to assure a reliable
cold start.
Caution: It is strongly recommended that you do not enter or change the BIOS settings. The BIOS is configured
at the factory for optimum system performance. Incorrect BIOS settings can render the system
unusable.
Before entering the BIOS, you must install a PS2 keyboard. USB devices are not supported outside of
the Windows operating environment.
Note: After turning off the instrument, you must wait at least 10 to 15 seconds before turning the instrument back
on again. This delay is required to allow the internal power supplies to discharge and to assure a reliable
cold start.
