UDOO X86 is supplied with an InsydeH2O® UEFI Firmware, you can use it to setup of the board.

Heads up! Some wireless or mechanical keyboards that doesn't respect the standard USB HID protocol could doesn't work in the UEFI BIOS Firmware menu. Regarding the wireless keyboards we tested these that are proper working also in the UEFI BIOS menu: Logitech k400r, Logitech k400 plus, Microsoft All-in-One Media Keyboard.

Warning: Please do NOT "play" with the SCU menu choices if you don't know what you are doing. For example, if you disable USB ports or Video Outputs you will not be able to interact with the SCU to revert this condition. If you stumbling upon this case take a look at the **Restore Factory configuration** section below.

SCU: The System Configuration Utility is where you can configure basic system settings like the date and time, to advanced features like the security configuration. You can also set your preferred power options, for example, making sure the computer turns back on after a loss of power, useful if the board is located remotely.

Restore Factory configuration

You can restore the factory default settings from the SCU pressing the F9 key.

You can also restore the factory UEFI BIOS configuration with a simple procedure involving the RTC battery: when the board is NOT connected to any power source, unplug the RTC battery on the bottom side of the board and keep it unplugged for at least 1 minute. Plug the RTC battery again and power up the board, all the configurations should now be reverted to the factory defaults.

Updating the UEFI BIOS to a newer version will also restore the new factory default configuration.

Heads up! You can use the RTC battery procedure starting from the UEFI BIOS v1.03 so check to have your UDOO X86 updated.

If you cannot use the precedents methods take a look at this useful threads of Jetguy in the UDOO Forum.
