BIOS Settings for Pioneer Cyprus Terminals

There are several BIOS settings that are required in order for a Pioneer Cyprus terminal to work correctly. Specifically:

  1. UEFI Boot must be set to Enabled.
  2. Boot Option #1 must be set to UEFI OS (P0: SATA SSD).

Both of these settings are located on the Boot tab in the BIOS. Here is a screenshot of what the BIOS settings look like when they are configured correctly:

Here is a screenshot of the bootloader menu when UEFI Boot is disabled:

The screen appears "grainy" (i.e. very low resolution), and the colors are "washed out" (8-bit colordepth). Another problem is that it a takes a very long time (multiple seconds) for the terminal to update the screen when a key is pressed.

Here is a screenshot of the error message that is displayed after the bootloader menu when UEFI is disabled:

Steps to Restore UEFI Settings

  1. Turn on the terminal, enter the Setup Utility by repeatedly pressing the "Delete" key.
  2. Navigate to the "BOOT" tab and change the UEFI Boot to "Enabled."
  3. Press F4 to Save and Exit and choose "Yes" and press the "Enter" key.
  4. Return to the Setup Utility by turning on or restarting the terminal on the terminal and repeatedly pressing the "Delete" key.
  5. Navigate to the "BOOT" tab, and change the value of Boot Option #1 to "UEFI OS (P0: SATA SSD)."
  6. Press F4 to Save and Exit and choose "Yes" and press the "Enter" key

Notes

  1. As of 10/10/2019, the current version of the BIOS (2.17.1246) does not enable "UEFI Boot" when the 'F3' key is pressed to load "Optimized Defaults". We are working with Pioneer to see if this is something that can be changed; see Feature #3825.
  2. If the Cyprus terminal does not fully power off (FullCount logo remains lit) after changing to UEFI Boot, make sure the OS Selection in the Advanced tab is set to Android; see Customer Support #7063.
