CHAPTER 3
AMI BIOS Setup
Introduction
The motherboard uses an AMI BIOS, which is stored in flash memory and can be upgraded using a
disk-based program. The setup program is for viewing and changing the BIOS setting for a
computer. These settings are stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains all the settings when
the power is turned off.
Upgrade BIOS
The BIOS can be upgraded from a diskette using the AMI Flash utility. BIOS upgrades and the
update utility are available from Iwill through the WWW site.
Enter BIOS setup program
The BIOS setup program is accessed by pressing the <Del> key after Power-On Self Test (POST)
memory test begins and before the scanning of IDE devices. During that time, a message “Press
DEL to enter SETUP” will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. If the message disappears
before you respond, you can restart the system by
Turning off the system power then turn it on again, or
Pressing the "RESET" button on the system case, or
Pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Del> keys simultaneously.
