Chapter 3 3 BIOS Settings This chapter introduces how to set BIOS configuration data.
3.1 BIOS Introduction AMIBIOS has been integrated into many motherboards for over two decades. With the AMIBIOS Setup program, you can modify BIOS settings and control various system features. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the ARK-DS762 series BIOS setup screens. AMIBIOS's ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed CMOS so it retains the setup information when the power is turned off. 3.
Select the Advanced tab from the ARK-DS762 setup screen to enter the Advanced BIOS Setup screen. You can select any of the items in the left frame of the screen, such as CPU configuration, to go to the sub menu for that item. You can display an Advanced BIOS Setup option by highlighting it using the keys. All Advanced BIOS Setup options are described in this section. The Advanced BIOS Setup screens are shown below. The sub menus are described on the following pages. Chapter 3 3.2.

Appendix A SUSIAccess Introduction A
A.1 SUSIAccess® - Remote Device Management Advantech has designed an industrial remote management program to provide our customers with remote device monitoring, desktop connection, system recovery and system protection features that will help customers to access multiple clients through a single console for remote device management.
System Recovery: Controls system backup and restore of remote devices, or pre-set system backup types and restore times. For example, a bank ATM machine is set for system backup every Monday at 1:00 am. If a system crashes, you can immediately gain access via the remote console, and perform a system recovery so that the equipment maintains normal operation. (System recovery programs use Acronis True Image backup and restore technology which must be installed before use.
