AMI BIOS Setup Utility
The AMI BIOS provides users with a built-in setup program to modify basic system
configuration. All configured parameters are stored in a battery-backed-up RAM (CMOS RAM)
to save the setup information whenever the power is turned off. This chapter provides users
with detailed description about how to set up basic system configuration through the AMI BIOS
setup utility.
3.1 Starting
To enter the setup screens, follow the steps below:
1.
Turn on the computer and press the <F2> key immediately.
2. After you press the < F2> key, the main BIOS setup menu displays. You can access the
other setup screens from the main BIOS setup menu, such as the Advanced and Chipset
menus.
It is strongly recommended that you should avoid changing the chipset
’s defaults. Both AMI
and your system manufacturer have carefully set up these defaults that provide the best
performance and reliability.
3.2 Navigation Keys
The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of the BIOS
setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation process. These keys
include <F1>, <F2>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, and so on.
Note: Some of the navigation keys differ from one screen to another.
