The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys". Most of the
AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the setup navigation process.
These keys include
<F1> , <F10> , <Enter> , <ESC> , arrow keys, etc.

How To Change the Configuration Data
The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the
AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing <Del> at the appropriate
time during system boot.

Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test. As the memory
is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility.
From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens. An AMI BIOS identification string
is displayed at the left bottom corner of the screen below the copyright message.

Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event shall the
manufacturer be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages
arising from a BIOS update. If you have to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset the
system while the BIOS is updating. This is to avoid possible boot failure.
