Chapter 4 BIOS Setup
Introduction
This section assumes the user is familiar with general BIOS Setup and does not attempt to describe the BIOS
functions. Refer to BIOS Setup Menus in this chapter for a map of the BIOS Setup settings. If ADLINK has
added to or modified any of the standard BIOS functions, these functions will be described.
Entering BIOS Setup (VGA Display)
To enter BIOS Setup using a VGA display for the Express-CBR:
1. Turn on the VGA monitor and the power supply to the Express-CBR.
2. Start Setup by pressing the [Del] key, when the following message appears on the boot screen.
Hit if you want to run SETUP
3. Use the key to select the screen menus listed in the Opening BIOS screen.
4. Follow the instructions at the bottom of each screen to navigate through the selections and modify any
settings.
OEM Logo Utility (Splash Screen)
The Express-CBR BIOS supports a graphical logo utility, which can be customized by the user and
displayed when enabled through the BIOS Setup Utility. The graphical image can be a company logo or any
custom image the user wants to display during the boot process. The custom image can be displayed as the
first image displayed on screen during the boot process and remain there, depending on the options selected
in BIOS Setup, while the OS boots.
Logo Image Requirements
The user’s image may be customized with any bitmap software editing tool, but must be converted into an
acceptable format with the tools (files and utilities) provided by ADLINK. If the custom image is not
converted with the utilities provided, then the image will not display properly when this field is selected in
BIOS Setup.
The Express-CBR Logo Screen Utility supports the following image formats:
• Bitmap image
♦ 16-Color, 640x480 pixels
♦ 256-Color, 640x480 pixels
• JPG image
♦ 16-Color, 640x480 pixels
NOTE If the setting for Memory Test is set to Fast, you may not see this prompt appear
on screen if the monitor is too slow to display it on start up. If this happens, press
the key early in the boot sequence to enter BIOS Setup.
NOTE Do not use other logo screen conversion tools because they will render an image that
is not compatible with the Express-CBR BIOS.
