Running AMIBIOS Setup
AMIBIOS Setup resides in ROM and is available when the computer is
turned on. AMIBIOS Setup permits the end user to configure these system
parameters (type of disk drives and monitor, day, date, and time, and so
on). The parameters are stored in CMOS RAM. When the computer is turned
off, a back-up battery provides power to CMOS RAM, which retains these
parameters. The system is configured with these values when powered on.
Default Values
If the configuration values in CMOS RAM become corrupted, the system is
configured with the default settings stored in this ROM file. There are
two sets of BIOS settings stored in the ROM file: the BIOS Setup
defaults and the Power-On defaults. See page 45 for more information on
default settings.
