BIOS Configuration
Advanced Setup
The Advanced Setup options included in the AMIBIOS Setup for the
Thunder 100 are described in this chapter. Select Advanced Setup from
the AMIBIOS Setup main menu to display the Advanced Setup
options.
Default Settings
Every option in AMIBIOS Setup contains two default values: a Fail-
Safe default and the Optimal default value. You can also choose to
restore the original BIOS settings (i.e. those that your board came
with) at any time.
Optimal Defaults
The Optimal default values provide optimum performance settings for
all devices and system features.
Fail-Safe Defaults
The Fail-Safe default settings consist of the safest set of parameters.
Use them if the system is behaving erratically. They should always
work but do not provide optimal system performance characteristics.
