Chapter 4  

 

BIOS 

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X9SCE-F motherboard. 
The AMI ROM 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.

Note:

 For instructions on BIOS recovery, please refer to the instruction 

guide posted at http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To  enter  the AMI  BIOS  Setup  Utility  screens,  press  the  <Delete>  key  while  the 

system is booting up.

Note

: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI 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 setup 
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can 

be  configured.  Grayed-out  options  cannot  be  configured.  Options  in  blue  can  be 
configured  by  the  user.  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

the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to 
include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)
The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys". 
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the 

setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, ar

-

row keys, etc. 

Note

: Options printed in 

Bold

 are default settings.

How To Change the Configuration Data

The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by 

entering the  AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing 

<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.
