Starting the Setup Utility
Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test.
As the memory is being tested, press the <F2> 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.
Warning:
Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue.
In no event shall the manufacturer be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or
consequential damage arising from a BIOS update. If you have to update the BIOS,
do not shut down or reset the system while the BIOS is being updated to avoid pos-
sible boot failure.
7-2 Main Setup

You can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab on the
top of the screen. The Main BIOS Setup screen is shown below.
