Using AMIBIOS Setup
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) records the system operating
parameters, such as the amount of memory, boot sequence, and the type of
video display. The system parameters are set before shipment. The BIOS,
which is stored in the flash EPROM on the system board, reads the system
parameters in Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) RAM.
When you power off the system, the lithium source on the Real-Time Clock
chip provides power to CMOS RAM, which retains the system parameters.
Each time the system is powered on, the BIOS uses the stored system
parameters to configure the system.
Note: The flash EPROM can be reprogrammed with a new BIOS using the
Flash Programming Utility (FPU). Refer to Chapter 4, “Maintaining
the System,” for instructions on using the FPU.
The AMIBIOS Setup program allows you to manually change the system
operating parameters. This chapter provides the details of using the
AMIBIOS Setup program, which is also stored in the flash EPROM on the
system board.
The AMIBIOS Setup menus and options discussed in this chapter are for
BIOS 741XX.ROM, where XX is the version. The BIOS version number is
displayed during the American Megatrends, Inc., banner message during
boot up. The banner message is similar to the following:
AMIBIOS (C) 1994 American Megatrends Inc.,
(C) 1995 Intergraph Corporation (741XX)
