3.1 Entering Setup
AMI BIOS:
AMI BIOS has been integrated into many motherboards for over a decade. With the
AMI BIOS Setup Utility, users can modify BIOS settings and control various system
features. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the BIOS Setup Utility. AMI's
BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system
configuration. This information is stored in flash ROM so it retains the Setup informa-
tion when the power is turned off.
To enter the BIOS setup screens, follow the steps below:
1. Power on the motherboard.
2. Press the Delete or Esc key on your keyboard when you see the following text
prompt: Press Delete or Esc to enter setup.
3. After you press the Delete key, the main BIOS setup menu displays. You can
