BIOS Setup Utility Overview

1. BIOS Setup Utility Overview This specification introduces the three BIOS definitions for the Procelerant CE3100 COM Express module:

▪ Standard BIOS. This BIOS supports the functions of CE3100 COM Express modules, and can boot from any custom carrier board that uses COM Express type 3 pinouts. This BIOS may not support all features of the custom carrier board, especially if it contains legacy interfaces.

▪ Full BIOS. This BIOS supports all available features when a CE3100 COM Express module is used with the CR200-VGA ATX carrier board.

▪ SCM BIOS. This BIOS supports the operation when a CE3100 COM Express module is used with the Promentum ATCA-2210 Switch And Control Module (SCM).

The three BIOS definitions are based on the standard Phoenix® TrustedCore™ with RadiSys extensions. A BIOS setup utility is included to display and modify system configuration. The BIOS configuration information is stored in nonvolatile CMOS RAM and is used to initialize the system.

To access to the BIOS setup utility, press F2 during POST when the system boots up. This provides consistency of operation across all supported operating systems, and forces a direct correspondence between the hardware and BIOS settings.

1.1 Menu map Figure 1 shows the menu map of the BIOS setup utility. Each menu is equivalent to a functional group and comprises of all correlated BIOS settings.

Note: The CE3100 BIOS provides an interface to detect carrier board configuration serial EEPROM based on CE3100’s supported features. When the carrier board serial EEPROM is also supported on the carrier board, menu options in the BIOS setup utility may vary depending on EEPROM contents.

1.2 Keyboard commands In the BIOS setup utility, a legend at the bottom of each screen provides instructions for manipulating setup options, as shown in Table 1.

Table 1. Keyboard commands

Keyboard Commands Function Design

F1 Help Press F1 to view help information.

← → Select Menu Press ← and → keys to navigate to a specific menu.

↑↓ Select Item Press ↑ and ↓ keys to navigate to a specific field within a menu.

–/+ Change Values Press – and + keys to step through available options.

Enter Select Entry Press Enter to display a submenu or select an option.

Esc Exit Press Esc to exit the BIOS setup utility.

F9 Setup Defaults Press F9 to revert all BIOS fields to setup defaults.

F10 Save and Exit Press F10 to save your changes and exit the BIOS setup utility.

1.2.1 General Help

When pressing F1 or Alt + H in the BIOS setup utility, the General Help should display the following literal texts:

Different BIOS configurations can change the system behavior. If incorrect values cause the system boot failure, load the defaults to recover.

<Up/Down> arrows select fields in the current menu.

<PgUp/PgDn> moves to previous/next page on a scrollable menu.

<Home/End>moves to top/bottom item in the current menu.

Within an item, <F5> or <-> selects the preceding option and <F6>, <+>, or <Space> selects the next option.

<Left/Right> arrows select menus on the menu bar.

<Enter> displays sub-items for the item marked with ►.

<F9> loads setup defaults.

<F10> saves current settings and exits.

<Esc> or <Alt-X> exits a submenu and returns to the parent menu.

<F1> or <Alt-H> displays General Help (this screen).

1.3 User interface design 1.3.1 Definitions of BIOS item types

According to function design considerations, each BIOS item should be addressed with one of the following types:

▪ User entry

▪ Read-only

▪ Executable command

▪ Submenu

1.3.2 Sorting orders of BIOS items and available options

▪ The sorting order of all BIOS settings on each setup screen shall match the screen mockups in the sections that follow. It may follow a logical order, or alphabetical order where the logical order of grouped settings is not important.

▪ The sorting order of all available options under each BIOS item shall always follow an alphabetical order.

1.3.3 Active fields

▪ An active field exists only when a BIOS item comprises of more than one available option. A read-only setting will never preserve active fields.

▪ The currently selected option in an active field should be highlighted.

▪ When a setup screen is displayed, the cursor always pauses at the first selectable field.

▪ When the user returns to a previously visited menu by pressing any of the up, down, left, and right arrow keys, the active field is always the first selectable field.

1.3.4 Read-only settings

The read-only settings include:

▪ A setting that is used to display the system output.

▪ A setting that identifies the input information for the system, but there is only one available option. This occurs when this information is important and must be made visible to users.

Read-only BIOS settings cannot be selected in the BIOS setup utility. When the user navigates through BIOS settings by pressing any of the up, down, left, and right arrow keys, the BIOS will leap over read-only settings.

1.3.5 Invisible settings

The invisible settings include:

▪ A setting that is designed for test purpose only. This type of invisible settings should be generally limited.

▪ A setting that is essential to the product and the user’s knowledge base, and does not need any user interference.

1.3.6 Symbolic indicators

1.3.6.1 I/O resource conflicts

In most cases the BIOS can automatically detect all possible conflicts. Once a BIOS setting being specified causes an I/O resource conflict, a yellow star appears to the left of the device name as seen under the operating system.

Such resource conflicts will be manually intervened and resolved under the operating system according to operating environment and system requirements.

Mode This item is visible only when Parallel Port set to Enabled. Available options are: - Output Only - Bi-directional - EPP: The Enhanced Parallel Port mode is compatible with IEEE 1284 specification. It is a half-duplex bi-directional interface designed to allow devices like printers, scanners, or storage devices to transmit large amounts of data. - ECP (default): The Extended Capabilities Port mode is compatible with IEEE1284. It is a half-duplex bi-directional interface similar to EPP, except that the system uses DMA to provide even faster data transfer than EPP.

Select the operation mode of this legacy parallel port.

Floppy Disk Controller This item is visible in the Full BIOS. Available options are: - Disabled - Enabled (default)

Enable or disable the legacy FDC port on the carrier board.

Discard all current changes before continuing.

Save Changes Executable command. A confirmation message window prompts with two interactive buttons: - Yes (default) - No

Save all current changes to CMOS.

CMOS Restore Condition

This item is invisible in the SCM BIOS. Changes to this item must be saved with the CMOS settings to flash memory before taking effect. Available options are: - Always: This option is usually useful when there is no CMOS battery on the carrier board. - Never (default) - CMOS Corruption

Specify the condition under which BIOS settings saved in the BIOS ROM flash memory will be automatically restored to CMOS in the BIOS RAM. Warning: If you select Always or CMOS Corruption, be sure to save CMOS settings to flash memory.

Save CMOS to Flash

Executable command. Performing this command will prompt a successful message window. This window provides a “Press any key to continue” button.

Take a moment to save current CMOS settings to nonvolatile flash memory. It takes effect after system reboot and allows you to restore the BIOS configuration settings saved in the flash memory.
