Changing the BIOS Settings
Follow the procedure in Table 25 to access the BIOS setup utility and verify settings or make
changes. You can use the active pen (not a stylus or fingertip) to navigate the setup screens
and select options, or you can connect an external keyboard to one of the USB ports.
Contact DRS Technical Support
if you have any questions about the BIOS settings for your
ARMOR X7.
CAUTION!
Incorrectly setting the BIOS options could cause the X7 to become
unstable or render it completely inoperable. Move carefully through
the menus and use caution when making changes. Read the
description of each change in the right-hand column before making
any adjustments.
NOTE
If you make permanent changes as a result of an upgrade or
addition of new equipment, be sure to keep a record of the
changes. Table 26 provides a handy place to record these changes.
Always record the previous value in case you have to return to that
value.
Table 24. Access the BIOS Setup Utility.
