BIOS Setup

BIOS Introduction

The AMI BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) installed in your

computer system’s ROM supports Intel processors. The BIOS

provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as

disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and

password protection as well as special support for detailed

fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.

BIOS Setup

The AMI BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the

system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system

stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the AMI

BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key

immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a

little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test)

will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from

invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the

system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing

the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by

turning the system Off and back On again. The following message

will appear on the screen:

Press <DEL> to Enter Setup

In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter>

to select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1>

for help and <Esc> to quit.

When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will

appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from

various setup functions and exit choices.
