Auto-Detect Hard Disks
This “Auto-Detect Hard Disks” option detects the parameters of IDE hard disk drives,
and automatically enters them into the standard CMOS setup screen.
Change User Password & Change Supervisor Password
AMI BIOS has two optional password features. “Supervisor Password” sets a password
that will be used to protect the system and the setup utility; “User Password” sets a
password that will be used exclusively on the system. The system can be configured so
that all users must enter a password every time the system boots or when the BIOS
Setup is executed. The password is stored in CMOS RAM. When you select Supervisor
or User, AMI BIOS prompts for a password. You must set the Supervisor password
before you can set the User password. Enter a 1-6 character password. The password
does not appear on the screen when typed. Make sure you write it down. If you forget
it, you must clear the BIOS Passwords (see the section on Jumper Settings.
To enter these passwords do the following:
•
Boot your system and press DEL to enter into the BIOS setup program.
•
Select the “Change Supervisor Password” option and press Enter.
•
You will be prompted to enter your Supervisor password two times.
•
The “Change User Password” option is now enabled, select this option and press
Enter.
•
You will be prompted to enter your User password two times.
•
Select the “Save Settings and Exit” option, press Y to save the current settings.
Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings
You can load the Optimal default settings. The Optimal default settings are best-case
values that should optimize system performance. If CMOS RAM is corrupted, the
Optimal settings are loaded automatically.
Auto Configuration with Fail Safe Settings
You can load the Fail-Safe Setting by pressing <enter> at the Fail-Safe Setting. The
Fail-Safe settings provide far from optimal system performance, but are the most stable
settings. Use this option as a diagnostic aid if the system is behaving erratically.
