BIOS
You can select a Setup option by manuevering the pointer with your
mouse and clicking the right mouse button, or by using the following
keyboard keys:
The pages which follow contain explanations of the settings for the
AMIBIOS Setup menus. Drawings have been included for ease of
reference, but note that only the first ten lines of any Setup category
(e.g. Advanced Setup) are visible in the menu at any time. For example,
when you first bring up the Advanced Setup menu, you can only see
“Quick Boot” through “Try Other Boot Devices.” In order to see the
other options, you must scroll down the menu using either the scroll bar
at the left hand side, or the arrow keys.
If you are confused, press <Alt> and <H> at the same time to bring up
the help menu. You should not have any trouble, though: the AMIBIOS
Setup program is easy to use, and fairly intuitive. Note that the graphics
in the manual are simpler than those that appear on your screen.
Text-Only Version
Text-only versions of the AMIBIOS for this board are available on the
TYAN web page. The features in the text-only version are exactly the
same as in the graphic version. The text-only version is being made
available to solve two possible problems: 1) the graphic version does not
have an option to select a hard drive larger than 8.4GB (note that your
operating system will still detect the hard drive properly), and 2) there is
possible incompatibility between the graphic version and some new
AGP fonts. If either of these issues is relevant to your system, use the
flash writer utility (see page 88) to install the text-only version on your
system.
