3.1 Introduction
AMI BIOS has been integrated into numerous motherboards for over a decade. The
AMI BIOS setup menu may also be referred to as the BIOS, BIOS setup, or CMOS
setup. With the AMI BIOS Setup program, users can modify the BIOS settings and
control the special system features. The Setup program comprises several menus
with options for adjusting or turning special features on or off. This chapter describes
the basic navigation of the AIMB-215 B1 BIOS setup menu pages.
3.2 BIOS Setup
The AIMB-215 B1 Series is equipped with built-in AMI BIOS and a CMOS Setup Util-
ity that allows users to configure specific settings or activate certain system features.
The CMOS Setup Utility saves the configuration in the CMOS RAM of the mother-
board. When the system power is turned off, the battery on the board supplies the
necessary power to preserve the CMOS RAM.
When the power is turned on, press the <Del> button during the BIOS power-on self-
test (POST) to access the CMOS Setup Utility screen.
