Enabling Auto Power On
The auto power on feature will turn the Helix system back on after a power loss. This can be useful for automatic recovery after a power outage, or applications where the system’s power button is not easily accessible.
- Power on the unit and immediately press the F2 key a few times to access the BIOS.
- Navigate to the Power tab.
- Change the “Power On after Power Failure” option to “S0-Power On”
- Navigate to the Exit tab.
- Save Changes and Exit.
- The unit will now automatically power on when power is connected.
Display Troubleshooting / Changing the primary display

- Power on the unit and immediately press the F2 key a few times to access the BIOS.
- Navigate to the Advanced tab.
- Open the “System Agent (SA) Configuration” menu
- Open the “Graphics Configuration” menu
- Change the “Primary Display” to IGFX to use the motherboard graphics, change to PEG to use the graphics card
- If desired, set “Internal Graphics” to Enabled to utilize both the graphics card and onboard outputs.
- Navigate to the Exit tab.
- Save Changes and Exit.
