BIOS Setup
Be very careful when using this utility to modify BIOS Setup parameters. The MX3 may
generate unexpected results when incorrect or conflicting parameter values are entered. The
parameters should only be modified by Information Services personnel or the system
administrator.
Note: Make sure there is a fully charged battery in the MX3 before accessing BIOS Setup.
Accessing the BIOS Setup
When you turn the MX3 on the unit will start to boot programs from the Internal Flash Array
(IFA). If the Main Menu Setup Msg parameter is toggled On, watch the bootup sequence and
when the following is displayed:

Press the [F2] key. When the Main Menu Setup Msg parameter is toggled Off (default), the [F2]
key is still available during the bootup sequence. The next screen displayed is the BIOS Setup
Main Menu.
BIOS Setup has three menus: Main, Advanced and Exit.
