BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMIBIOS Setup Utility for the X7QCE. The AMI ROM
BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated using a fl oppy
disk-based program.
Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMIBIOS Setup Utility screens, hit the <Delete> key while the system
is booting up.
Note : In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMIBIOS setup screen.
There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F1>, <F2>, etc.
The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays
all the options that can be confi gured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be confi gured.
Options in blue can be confi gured by the user. The right frame displays the key
legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an op-
tion is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will
accompany it. ( Note : the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro
retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)
The AMIBIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys.
Most of the AMIBIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup
navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys,
etc. Options printed in Bold are default settings.)
The confi guration data that determines the system parameters may be changed
by entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility (accessed by pressing <Del> during sys-
tem boot.
Warning!!
Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the
BIOS to prevent possible boot failure.
