Overview
The Endeavor Plus is equipped with the AMIBIOS, stored in Flash ROM. This BIOS has a
built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of
information is stored in CMOS RAM so that it is retained during power-off periods. When the
system is turned on, the Endeavor Plus communicates with peripheral devices and checks its
hardware resources against the configuration information stored in the CMOS memory. If any
error is detected, or the CMOS parameters need to be initially defined, the diagnostic program
will prompt the user to enter the Setup program. Some errors are significant enough to abort the
startup.
