CHAPTER 3
AMI BIOS UTILITY
The AMI UEFI BIOS provides users with a built-in setup program to modify basic
system configuration. All configured parameters are stored in a 16MB flash chip to
save the setup information whenever the power is turned off. This chapter provides
users with detailed description about how to set up basic system configu ration
through the AMI BIOS setup utility.
3.1 Starting
To enter the setup screens, follow the steps below:
1. Turn on the computer and press the <Del> key immediately.
2. After you press the <Del> key, the main BIOS setup menu displays. You can access the
other setup screens from the main BIOS setup menu, such as the Advanced and
Chipset menus.
Note: If your computer cannot boot after making and saving system changes
with Setup, you can restore BIOS optimal defaults by setting JP1 (see
section 1.6.2).
It is strongly recommended that you should avoid changing the chipset
’s defaults.
Both AMI and your system manufacturer have carefully set up these defaults that
provide the best performance and reliability.
