CHAPTER 5 BIOS Setup
Introduction
The purpose of this chapter is to describe the settings in the AMI BIOS Setup
program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to modify the
basic system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM. The power
of CMOS RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup information
when the power is turned off.
