BIOS Setup for Restore AC Power Loss:

The Energy-Related Products Directive (ERP) is the European Commission Directive required for products sold and exported to the EU. As such the Qotom Q750G5 does not automatically power on after a power failure. Obviously this feature needs to be disabled.

On startup (quickly) press the <DEL> key to enter the BIOS Setup, go to the “Advanced” → “IT8631 Super IO Configuration” . Make the following changes…

The results should like the following screen…

BIOS Power On


BIOS Setup for Boot OS Selection (non-UEFI):

While in the BIOS Setup as above, to enable Legacy boot, go to the “Advanced” → “CSM configuration” menu…

The results should like the following screen…

BIOS Legacy Boot


BIOS Setup for Boot OS Selection (UEFI):

UEFI Boot requires AstLinux 1.4.6 or later - additionally RUNNIX 0.6.10 or later is needed.

While in the BIOS Setup as above, to enable UEFI boot, go to the “Advanced” → “CSM configuration” menu…


Other BIOS Settings

“Advanced” → “Trusted Computing” → “Security Device Support” ⇒ “[Disable]”

Save the above BIOS changes, reboot.

If the mSATA was pre-installed (with e.g. PFSense) you also need to setup the Boot Priorities for the USB stick correctly on the “Boot” page.
Or you can choose a temporary Boot-Device at the “Save & Exit” tab under “Boot Override” at the bottom (instead of a Boot-Menu).
