BIOS Setup BIOS Setup BIOS Setup is an overview of the BIOS Setup Program. The program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. ENTERING SETUP Power ON the computer and press immediately will allow you to enter Setup.
6VTXE(-A) Motherboard GETTING HELP Main Menu The on-line description of the highlighted setup function is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Status Page Setup Menu / Option Page Setup Menu Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press . The Main Menu Once you enter AMI BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu (Figure 1) will appear on the screen.
BIOS Setup • Chipset Features Setup This setup page includes all the items of chipset special features. • Power Management Setup This setup page includes all the items of Green function features. • PnP/PCI Configurations This setup page includes all the configurations of PCI & PnP ISA resources. • Load Fail-Safe Defaults Fail-Safe Defaults indicates the value of the system parameter which the system would be in the safe configuration.
6VTXE(-A) Motherboard Standard CMOS Setup The items in Standard CMOS Features Menu (Figure 2) are divided into 9 categories. Each category includes no, one or more than one setup items. Use the arrows to highlight the item and then use the or keys to select the value you want in each item. AMIBIOS SETUP – STANDARD CMOS SETUP ( C ) 1999 American Megatrends, Inc.
BIOS Setup • Time The times format in . The time is calculated base on the 24-hour military-time clock. For example, 1 p.m. is 13:00:00. • IDE Primary Master, Slave / Secondary Master, Slave The category identifies the types of hard disk from drive C to F that has been installed in the computer. There are two types: auto type, and user definable type. User type is user-definable; Auto type which will automatically detect HDD type.
6VTXE(-A) Motherboard • Boot Sector Virus Protection If it is set to enable, the category will flash on the screen when there is any attempt to write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk drive. The system will halt and the following error message will appear in the mean time. You can run anti-virus program to locate the problem.
