Chapter 4
UEFI BIOS
4.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the C9X299-PGF-L.
Note:
Some submenus shown in this chapter may differ depending on the CPU installed
on the motherboard.
The ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This chapter
describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.
Note:
For AMI BIOS Recovery, please refer to the UEFI BIOS Recovery Instructions
in

Starting the Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS GUI Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the system
is booting up.
Note:
In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup screen.
Each main BIOS menu feature is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup menu
screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the submenus that can be configured.
Grayed-out features cannot be configured. The right frame displays the key legend. Above
the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When a submenu is selected in the
left frame, the text becomes blue. Often a text message will accompany it. (
Note:
the AMI
BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to include, omit, or
change any of these text messages.)
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>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.
Note:
Settings in
Bold
are default settings.
