BIOS Setup
BIOS Introduction
The AMI BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM supports Intel processors. The BIOS
provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and
password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
BIOS Setup
The AMI BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the
system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the AMI BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key
immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test) will
continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by
pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by turning the
system Off and back On again. The following message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for
help and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various
setup functions and exit choices.
