Using the Module

4.1 BIOS

The CM1-86DX2 features an AMI BIOS. The default settings provide a “ready to run” system,
even without a BIOS setup backup battery.

The BIOS is located in flash memory and can be easily updated with software under DOS.

All setup changes of the BIOS are stored in the CMOS RAM.

The soldered battery will provide power to store that information for over two years without
board activation.

Configuring the BIOS

Pressing <DEL> during power up starts the BIOS setup utility.

Pressing <F11> during power up starts the boot menu.

Pressing <END> during power up returns settings to default.

Main screen of the BIOS

The main screen of the BIOS SETUP UTILITY gives you a quick overview of the BIOS version,
the clock speed, installed memory, memory speed, date and time. The date and time can be
configured by the user.

Advanced Settings screen

The main screen of “Advanced Settings” provides settings for detailed CPU configuration, IDE
controller configuration, Remote access configuration, USB controller configuration and ACPI
configuration.
