The AMI BIOS Setup Utility of your system is discussed in this
chapter.
The system Basic Input and Output System (BIOS) is the
interface between the hardware and the operating system
software. Its function is to provide a series of software
interrupts and functions that control operations on certain
devices connected to your system. Aside from this, it performs
a series of Power On Self Test (POST) every time you boot the
system. POST checks your actual system configuration with
the system configuration data stored in a non-volatile memory
known as CMOS RAM. These tests are to ensure that your
system is properly configured to recognize the devices such as
memory, FDD, HDD, etc.
Usually, you may need to perform setup due to the following
circumstances:
Ÿ
Adding or removing devices to or from the system, such as
FDD, HDD, adapter cards, or memory
Ÿ
Changing the type of video display
Ÿ
Setting the built-in clock/calendar to the correct time and/or
date
Ÿ
Enabling or disabling special features such as power
management functions, system passwords, etc.
Ÿ
Setting or resetting configuration data if these were
accidentally lost or if the on-board battery was replaced.
