BIOS Configuration
system routerboard bios
Description
In addition to BIOS own setup possibilities, it is possible to configure BIOS parameters in
RouterOS condole
Property Description
baud-rate (1200 | 2400 | 4800 | 9600 | 19200 | 38400 | 57600 | 115200; default: 9600) - initian
bitrate of the onboard serial port
debug-level (none | low | high) - BIOS output debug level
• none - no debugging output
• low - show only some debugging information
• high - show all debugging information about the boot process
boot-delay (time: 0s..10s; default: 1s) - how much time to wait for a key storke while booting
memory-settings (optimal | fail-safe; default: optimal) - specifies how the RouterBoard will use
the memory
beep-on-boot (yes | no; default: yes) - whether to beep during boot procedure (to indicate that it has
succeeded)
vga-to-serial (yes | no; default: yes) - whether to map VGA output to the serial console. Should be
enabled if working via serial terminal (gives much more output)
memory-test (yes | no; default: no) - whether to testall the RAM during boot procedure. Regardless
of the choice, hte first megabyte of the RAM will be tested anyway. Enabling this option may cause
longer boot process
Example
To set high debug level with RAM test:
[admin@Wandy] > system routerboard bios print
baud-rate: 9600
debug-level: low
boot-delay: 1s
beep-on-boot: yes
vga-to-serial: yes
memory-test: no
[admin@Wandy] > system routerboard bios set debug-level=high ram-test=yes
[admin@Wandy] > system routerboard bios print
baud-rate: 9600
debug-level: high
boot-delay: 1s
beep-on-boot: yes
vga-to-serial: yes
memory-test: yes
