Abstract
In one aspect, a device may include at least one processor programmed with instructions to power on the device responsive to an electrical connection of two pins on a front panel header of a system board and, based on powering on the device responsive to the electrical connection of two pins on the front panel header of the system board, present a basic input/output system (BIOS) setup screen on a display. The BIOS setup screen may provide one or more options for a person to configure pinouts of the front panel header. The processor may also be programmed with instructions to save the person's configuration of the pinouts of the front panel header based on user input using the BIOS setup screen and, responsive to a subsequent startup of the device, apply the configuration of the pinouts of the front panel header for operation of the device.
