7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the SuperServer
8028B-TR4F/C0R4FT. The 128 Mb SPI AMI BIOS® SM Flash BIOS is stored in
a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This chapter describes the basic
navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.
Starting the Setup Utility
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, hit the <Delete> key while the system is booting-up.
(In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the BIOS setup screen. There
are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F1>, <F2>, etc.) Each main
BIOS menu option is described in this manual.
The Main BIOS screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options
that can be con
fi gured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be con fi gured. The right frame
displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text
message. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often
a text message will accompany it. (Note that BIOS has default text messages built
in. We retain the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)
Settings printed in

are the default values.

indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the <Enter>
key will open the list of settings within that submenu.
The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most
of these hot keys (<F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used
at any time during the setup navigation process.
