4 BIOS Settings and Driver Installation
4.1 BIOS Setting
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is a program that provides
a basic level of communication between the processor and periph-
erals. In addition, the BIOS also contains codes for various
advanced features applied to the MXC-4000 series controller. The
BIOS setup program includes menus for configuring settings and
enabling features of MXC-4000 series. Most users do not need to
use the BIOS setup program, as the MXC-4000 series controller
ships with default settings that work well for most configurations.
In this section, BIOS options are illistrated.
Warning: Changing BIOS settings may lead to incorrect
controller behavior and possibly an unbootable
controller. If this happens, follow the instructions in
Section 2.4.4 to clear CMOS and then restore the
default settings. In general, do not change a BIOS
setting unless you are absolutely certain of what it
does.
