3.1 Introduction
AMIBIOS has been integrated into myriad motherboards for decades. In the past,
people often referred to the AMIBIOS setup menu as BIOS, BIOS setup or CMOS
setup.
With the AMIBIOS Setup program, you can modify BIOS settings and control the
special features of your computer. The Setup program uses a number of menus for
making changes and turning the special features on or off. This chapter describes the
basic navigation of the ASMB-584 setup screens.
