4-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup utility for the X9QRi-F/X9QR7-TF/
X9QR7-TF-JBOD. It also provides the instructions on how to navigate the AMI
BIOS Setup utility screens. The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and
can be easily updated.
Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS Setup utility screens, press the <Del> key while the system
is booting up.
Note : In most cases, the <Del> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup
screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F3>,
<F4>, etc.
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured. Options in blue can be
configured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for informational text. When an option is selected in the
left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often, informational text about the option will
display on the right.
Note : The AMI BIOS has default informational messages built in. The
manufacturer retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these
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 setup
navigation. These keys include <F3>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.
Note 1 : In this section, options printed in Bold are default settings.
Note 2
: <F3> is used to load optimal default settings. <F4> is used to save
the settings and exit the setup utility.
