Overview

The system’s BIOS records basic system operating parameters, such as the amount of
memory, the boot sequence, and the type of video display.  The operating parameters are set
in the BIOS before shipment.

The BIOS is stored in flash erasable-programmable memory (EPROM) on the system board,
and reads the system parameters in the system’s complementary metal-oxide semiconductor
(CMOS) random-access memory (RAM).  When you power off the system, a lithium battery
provides power to CMOS RAM to retain the operating parameters.  Each time you power on
the system, the BIOS uses stored parameters to configure the system.

The AMIBIOS Setup program (referred to as BIOS Setup), which is also stored in the flash
EPROM on the system board, allows you to manually change the system operating
parameters.  A flash programming utility allows you to reprogram the BIOS if needed.  

Starting BIOS Setup

To start BIOS Setup:

1.  Restart the system.

2.  When the BIOS version displays on screen, press 

DELETE

.

The BIOS Setup main menu contains icons for the various BIOS menus.  These menus list
parameters for configuring the BIOS.

Using BIOS Setup

ALT

+

H

.  Press any key to return to BIOS

Setup.

To display a menu, select the menu icon.

To display the options for a parameter, select the parameter entry.

To exit BIOS Setup, press 

ESC

 while in the BIOS Setup main menu.  Select Save

Changes and Exit or Do Not Save Changes and Exit, as appropriate.  Select Continue to
return to BIOS Setup.
