Appendix D. Changing BIOS
Configuration

This section discusses using the BIOS to change the system defaults. The
DeviceMaster ATS-XPE uses the AWARD PCI/ISA BIOS for system configuration.
The AWARD BIOS setup program is designed to provide maximum flexibility in
configuring the system by offering various options which may be selected to meet
your requirements.

Note: The information in this appendix is for reference only. The DeviceMaster

ATS-XPE is pre-configured before shipment. If you need to recover the
Comtrol BIOS default, use this Appendix to reconstruct the proper BIOS
settings.

The Recovery CD does not recover the Comtrol BIOS settings.

Getting Started

When you apply power on the DeviceMaster ATS-XPE, the BIOS enters Power-on-
-Self Test (POST) routines. These routines are executed for system test,
initialization, and system configuration verification. After the POST routines are
completed, the following message appears:

" Hit DEL if you want to run SETUP"

To access the AWARD BIOS SETUP UTILITY, press the <Del> key. This screen
displays.
