The manual can be downloaded from
http://www.compactpc.com.tw/download_ml.htm
The boot-ROM feature of the eBox II is similar to that of the eBox 2300,
so you use download that manual as the manual for the 2300 does not
include any BIOS settings.
1. Power ON the computer, BIOS will start running POST (Power on Self
Test) and press <Del> immediately. It will allow you to enter the
Setup. If the message disappears before responding and you still
want to enter the Setup, you may need to restart the unit by
pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Del> keys simultaneously.
2. After entering the BIOS CMOS Setup Utility select the item
"Advance Chipset Setup" and press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.
3. After getting in the sub-menu select the item "Root ROM Function"
and press <page down>or <page up> to change the value to "Enable".
Please press <ESC> escape to the main menu, and then press <F10>
and press <Enter>. The system will save the change into CMOS SRAM
and reboot the unit.
4. When finished the BIOS setup, the next step is configuring the
"Boot ROM" setup.
After booting, user will see the information on the screen as
Picture 3, and then press <Shift> and <F10> to get into the "Boot
Agent Configuration" setup screen, If the message disappears
before responding, you may need to restart the unit by pressing
<Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Del> keys simultaneously.
5. Please press<Enter> to select the item, which users want to setup,
and then press <space bar> to change the value.
1. _Network Boot Protocol_
This category determines the protocol that will be used when
Boot ROM is booting. (PXE / RPL)
2. _Boot Order_
This category determines the boot order to boot the
operation system.
1. int 18h
Boot the devices ordered in BIOS Setup
2. int 19h
Always boot network first then local devices
3. _Show Config Message_
Set the Config Message will show on the screen
4. _Show Message Time_
Set the Message Time
6. After finished the setup configuration, please press <F4> to save
and exit, and then users can Boot their OS from Boot Agent.
*Note: *Be careful with the Shared Memory Settings in the BIOS. If you
increase the shared memory size to the max and change the VGA memory to
the max as well, your client will most probably stop displaying anything
the next time you boot it. There might be other combinations that will
cause the VGA to stop working. To get your BIOS re-set, you have to open
to box and manually short the battery (Which probably voids your
warranty) or send it back to your dealer.
