 +
 +To activate or deactivate eMMC Support apply the following settings.
 +  * Boot the system into the BIOS menu
 +  * Set up 'SCS/SCC Configuration' option in the BIOS Menu accordingly:\\
 +<code>Setup Utility > Advanced > South Cluster Configuration > SCC Configuration</code>

 +<panel type="primary" title="Activate Console Redirection">
 +To activate Console Recirection in the BIOS via the serial port in addition to the display output on the Starterkit apply the following steps.\\ 
 +It can be useful for BIOS remote control tasks. 
 \\ \\
 +\\
 +== On Starterkit ==
 +  * Connect a null modem cable to the desired serial interface (e.g. SER0)
 +  * Boot the system into the BIOS menu
 +  * Enable 'Console Redirection' option in the BIOS Menu and the corresponding serial port (e.g. COMA)
 +<code>Setup Utility > Advanced > Console Redirection > Enabled</code>
 +  * Press **<F10>** to save the settings and reboot the system
 +
 +== On Host PC ==
 +  * Connect the null modem cable to an available serial port
 +  * Run your favorite terminal emulator on your Host PC (we recommend //TeraTerm Pro//)
 +  * Configure the serial port according to the table below:
 +<grid><col sm="4">
 +^  Bautrate: |  115200  |
 +^  Data bits: |  8  |
 +^  Parity: |  none  |
 +^  Stop bits: |  1  |
 +^  Handshake  : |  XON/XOFF  |

 +<panel type="primary" title="Hardware Monitor Fan Scaling">
 +
 +With 'Fan Scaling' option it is possible to control the system temperature at a certain load of the system by setting up the fan speed at certain trip points.\\
 +To create a custom 'Fan Scaling' plan apply the following steps in the BIOS setup. \\
 +\\
 +
 +  * Boot the system into the BIOS menu
 +  * Enable 'Fan Scaling' option and set it up according to your needs
 +<code>Setup Utility > Advanced > SIO Hardware Monitor Nuvoton NCT7802Y > Enable Fan Scaling</code>
 +  * Press **<F10>** to save the settings and reboot the system

 +<panel type="primary" title="State after G3">
 +With 'State after G3' option you can specify the behaviour of the system after power is supplied.
 +
 +Configuring 'State after G3:
 +  * Boot the system into the BIOS menu
 +  * Set up 'State after G3' option in the BIOS Menu accordingly:
 +
 +^ State       ^ Definition  ^
 +|  S0  | System starts up directly after power is supplied |
 +|  S5  | System is held in power-off state until power button is pressed | 
 +<code>Setup Utility > Advanced > South Cluster Configuration > Miscellaneous Configuration > State After G3</code>
 +  * Press **<F10>** to save the settings and reboot the system

 +<panel type="primary" title="Enable LVDS Display Output">
 +
 +<alert type="warning">Please make sure that you use the LVDS variant of the module to use the LVDS interface!</alert>
 +=== Enable the LVDS interface ====
 +
 +1. Check if your module variant support LVDS:
 +<code> BIOS Front Page > Device Manager > SIO TQmx86 > eDP to LVDS bridge = populated </code>
 +2. Enable the LVDS inteface in SIO TQMx86:
 +<code>BIOS Front Page > Device Manager > SIO TQmx86 > LVDS Configuration =  <Enable></code>
 +3. Enable eDP to use the LVDS Interface (eDP-to-LVDS Bridge is used):
 +<code>Setup Utility > Advanced (Tab) > Uncore Configuration > VBT Hook Configuration > LFP 1 Configuration =  <eDP></code>
 +4. Press the changes by pressing the key F10 on your keybaord
 +\\
 +\\
 +=== Configure the LVDS interface ====
 +
 +The LVDS interface settings can be found on the following BIOS page:
 +<code>BIOS Front Page > Device Manager > SIO TQmx86</code>
 +
 +^  Setting  ^  Description  ^
 +| LVDS Color depth and data packing format | Change the color depth and data packing format acording to your display: \\ > VESA 24 bpp \\ > JEIDA 24 bpp  \\ > VESA and JEIDA 18 bpp |
 +| LVDS dual/single mode | Select your LVDS bus mode: \\ > Single \\ > dual |
 +| LVDS EDID information | EDID information includes display specific values like timing and resolution. They are normally located in an I2C EEPROM on the display or baseboard. The LVDS bridge offers you to emulate a set of different display resolutions without the need of an EEPROM. Turn EDID emulation on to use one of the display presets |

 +More information can be found under [[en:general_information:tutorial:edid|Custom LVDS resolution (EDID)]].
