Auto Configuration With Power-On Defaults

This option configures the default Power-On values, which do not provide optimal system performance, but are the most stable
values. Use this option as a diagnostic aid if the system is behaving erratically.

Select this option on the Setup Main Menu and press <Enter> to use the Power-On defaults. The following appears:

Default values loaded. Press any key to continue.

Write to CMOS and Exit

The features selected and configured in Standard Setup, ADVANCED CMOS SETUP, ADVANCED CHIPSET SETUP, and New
Password Setup are stored in CMOS RAM when this option is selected. A checksum is calculated and written to CMOS RAM.

Control is then passed to the BIOS. The following appears:

Write to CMOS and Exit (Y/N)?

Press

N

and <Enter> to return to the Main Menu. Press

Y

and <Enter> to save the system parameters and continue the boot

process.

Do Not Write to CMOS RAM and Exit

This option passes control to AMIBIOS without writing any changes to CMOS RAM.

Press

N

and <Enter> to return to the Main Menu. Press

Y

and <Enter> to continue the boot process without saving any

system parameters.
