Chapter 3
BIOS Setup
This chapter explains how to configure the mainboardÕs
BIOS setup program. The setup program provided
with the
mainboard is the BIOS from AMI.
After you have configured the mainboard and have
assembled the components, turn on the computer and
run the software setup to ensure that the system
information is correct.
The software setup of the system board is achieved
through Basic Input-Output System (BIOS)
programming. You use the BIOS setup program to tell
the operating system what type of devices are
connected to your system board.
The system setup is also called CMOS setup. Normally,
you need to run system setup if either the hardware is
not identical with information contained in the CMOS
RAM, or if the CMOS RAM has lost power.
Note: When installing newer BIOS into this mainboard, JP

must be set to clear CMOS position for a moment then
set back to Normal Mode or hold down the <End> key
then power on to reboot the system.
