Using the System Setup Program

Setup Menu

The computer employs the latest AMI Core BIOS, which is stored in Flash

memory. The Flash memory supports the Plug and Play specification, and

contains a BIOS Setup program, the Power On Self Test (POST) routine, and

the PCI auto-configuration utility.

This system supports system BIOS shadowing which enables the BIOS to

execute from 64-bit onboard write-protected DRAM.

You can configure items such as:

• Hard drives and peripherals

• Password protection

• Power management features

The Setup utility should be executed under the following conditions:

• When changing the system configuration

• When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are

prompted to make changes to the Setup utility

• When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts

• When changing the password or making other changes to the security

setup

NOTE: Only items in brackets [ ] can be modified. Items that are not in brackets are

display only.
