Load Optimal or Failsafe Defaults
Each AMIBIOS Setup option has two default settings (Optimal and Failsafe). These settings can be applied
to all AMIBIOS Setup options when you select the appropriate configuration option from the BIOS Setup
Utility Main Menu.
You can use these configuration options to quickly set the system configuration parameters which should
provide the best performance characteristics, or you can select a group of settings which have a better
chance of working when the system is having configuration-related problems.
Load Optimal Defaults
This option allows you to load the Optimal default settings. These settings are best-case values which
should provide the best performance characteristics. If CMOS RAM is corrupted, the Optimal settings are
loaded automatically.
If you select the
Load Optimal Defaults
option, the following window displays:
You have two options:
Select Ok to load the Optimal default settings.
Select Cancel to leave the current values in effect.
Load Failsafe Defaults
This option allows you to load the Failsafe default settings when you cannot boot
your computer successfully. These settings are more likely to configure a workable computer. They may
not provide optimal performance, but are the most stable settings. You may use this option as a diagnostic
aid if your system is behaving erratically. Select the Failsafe settings and then try to diagnose the problem
after the computer boots.
If you select the
Load Failsafe Defaults
option, the following window displays:
You have two options:
Select
Ok
to load the Failsafe default settings.
Select
Cancel
to leave the current values in effect.
