BIOS Setup via Serial Port:

Initially you must use the included VGA cable²⁾ to connect to the board's internal VGA header to view the BIOS³⁾, an alternate solution is to use “Console Redirection” to the BIOS via the serial port.

Note -> Leave Bits per second → 115200 for AstLinux 1.3.0 and later.

Using the VGA connection, enter the BIOS Setup, go to the “Advanced” → “Serial Port Console Redirection” . Make the following changes…

Console Redirection COM1 → Enabled
Terminal Type → VT100+
Bits per second → 19200
Redirection After BIOS POST → BootLoader

The results should like the following screens…

Serial Access BIOS

Save the above BIOS changes, reboot.

Later to access the BIOS, configure your serial terminal program to support ANSI color and the matching baud-rate. If you are using minicom be sure to add the ' -c on ' option to the minicom command line, otherwise the ANSI colors will not be distinguishable in the BIOS Setup screen. On startup hit the <F7> key (or quickly type <ESC>[18 ) to enter the BIOS Setup.

BIOS Setup for Auto-Power-On after Power Failure:

The Energy-Related Products Directive (ERP) is the European Commission Directive required for products sold and exported to the EU. As such the Jetway NF9HG-2930 does not automatically power back on after a power failure. Obviously this feature needs to be disabled.

On startup press the <DEL> or <F7> key to enter the BIOS Setup, go to the “Chipset” → “South Bridge” . Make the following changes…
