Introduction
AMI BIOS has been integrated into many motherboards, and has been very popular
for over a decade. People sometimes refer to the AMI BIOS setup menu as BIOS,
BIOS setup or CMOS setup.
With the AMI BIOS Setup program, you can modify BIOS settings to control the spe-
cial features of your computer. The Setup program uses a number of menus for mak-
ing changes. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AIMB-581 setup
screens.
3.2
BIOS Setup
The AIMB-581 Series system has AMI BIOS built in, with a CMOS SETUP utility that
allows users to configure required settings or to activate certain system features.
The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS RAM of the motherboard.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the board supplies the necessary power
to preserve the CMOS RAM.
When the power is turned on, press the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-
On Self Test) to access the CMOS SETUP screen.
