CL260 BIOS Manual

BIOS Version 1.03

1- Getting Started

1.1 - Introduction

The UEFI BIOS is a small program which runs when your computer starts and configures its basic functions. That configuration is automatic, and most users will be satisfied with the default configuration. If the default configuration is not sufficient, the BIOS has setup menus which can be used to reconfigure the computer.

The purpose of this manual is to document the function of the BIOS and its available configuration options. The text of this document lists the BIOS menus and options exactly as they appear in the BIOS menus: in the correct order, with the correct default values for this BIOS version. Some options are hidden based on how other options are set and which hardware is detected in the system, so some options may not appear on all systems. Informative screenshots are also provided throughout, but their contents may not exactly match this BIOS version.

1.2 - Navigating the Setup Menu

To access the BIOS setup menu, hold the Delete key on the keyboard while turning on the system. After a few seconds, the BIOS front page menu is shown:

On each menu, the selected option is shown in white, other options are shown in blue, and read-only options are shown in gray. Some menus have multiple screens, which are shown at the top of the screen. The active screen is shown with a gray background and inactive screens are shown with blue backgrounds.

BIOS menus are navigated by pressing keys on the keyboard:

• F1 shows help on available keyboard shortcuts

• ↑/↓ arrow keys select the option above or below the currently-selected option

• →/← arrow keys activate the screen to the right or left of the currently-activated screen

• Enter activates the selected option. If that option is a menu, it is opened. If it is a configuration option, a dialog is opened to select a new value.

• F5/F6 change the selected option to its previous or next value

• Esc returns to the previous menu

• F9 restores all options to their factory default values

• F10 saves all options and restarts the system

1.3 - Secure Boot

The administrator password must be set to configure secure boot

• Press Ctrl+Alt+F4 during the BIOS POST and enter the administrator password to access the secure boot setting page.

1.4 - Error LED

The Error LED is effectively controlled by BIOS based on the following conditions:

Faulty condition	Error LED	When to detect
DIMM error	Constant on	At BIOS boot-up
No boot device found	Slow blinking	At BIOS boot-up
RTC coin cell battery < 2.5V	Fast blinking	At BIOS boot-up

Blinking frequencies:

• Slow blinking: 0.5 Hz (Blinks once every two seconds)

• Medium blinking: 1 Hz (Blinks once every second)

• Fast blinking: 4 Hz (Blinks four times every second)
