CL260 BIOS Manual
BIOS Version 1.04
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 DEL 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 - Boot manager
To access the BIOS boot manager, hold the F10 key on the keyboard while turning on the system. After a few seconds, the BIOS boot manager is shown:
2- Onlogic Features
2.1 - Secure Boot
To access the Secure Boot Menu, hold the Ctrl+Alt+F4 key on the keyboard while turning on the system. After a few seconds, the Secure Boot menu is shown:
The system will prompt you to set admin passwords to configure secure boot for the first time.
Enter the admin password to access the secure boot setting page.
2.2 - 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)
2.3 - Low RTC Battery Voltage Warning
When RTC battery is low, BIOS will display "Warning: Low RTC battery" for 30 seconds during the BIOS POST.
2.4 - Crisis Recovery
If a BIOS update is interrupted, your system may fail to boot. The system will attempt to recover in two ways:
1. Automatic Recovery
The system will automatically try to restore the original BIOS image.
Look for the text "Crisis Recovery" on your screen.
This indicates the repair is in progress.
2. Manual Recovery (USB Method)
If the system keeps rebooting and does not recover automatically, follow these steps:
Save a valid BIOS image file onto a USB flash drive.
Rename the file to:
CL260.binInsert the USB drive into the computer.
The system will automatically find the file and repair the BIOS.
2.5 - Factory Reset Button
You can enable the Factory Reset Button under Onlogic Feature Configuration of the BIOS setup menu
How to Perform a Factory Reset
Turn off the system completely.
Press and hold the Factory Reset button.
While still holding Reset, press the Power button to turn the system on.
Wait 5 seconds after the system powers up, then release the Factory Reset button.
The Result:
All BIOS settings return to default.
Admin passwords are deleted.
2.5 - SSD S.M.A.R.T Health Check
SSD S.M.A.R.T Health Check is enabled by default in the Onlogic Feature Configuration
BIOS will check the SSD health status and display warnings if the status is bad for 30 seconds
2.6 - System Watchdog Timer
Normal Operation: Once the computer boots to an OS, the BIOS constantly resets a hidden countdown timer to prove the system is still running smoothly.
If the system freezes ("hangs") and stops working, it fails to reset that timer.
When the timer runs out (hits zero), it automatically forces the computer to restart to recover from the freeze.
2.7 - To Enable In-Band ECC
To enable In-Band ECC in the memory configuration page, Intel Trusted Execution Technology must be disabled in the CPU configuration page.
3 - Main Menu
Several options are available on the Main page:
