BIOS Setup

Introduction

The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the AMI BIOS Setup

program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic

system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM. The power of CMOS

RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup information when the power

is turned o f f.

Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without

accessing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and output

devices such as keybo ard, mous e, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS activates at the

first stage of the booting process, loading and executing the operating system. Some

additional features, such as virus and password protection or chipset fine-tuning

options are also included in BIOS.

The rest of this manual will to guide you thro ugh the options and settings in BIOS

Setup.

APM Support

This AMI BIOS supports Vers ion 1.1&1.2 of the Advanced Power Management

(APM) specification. Power management features are implemented via the System

Management Interrupt (SMI). Sleep and Suspend power management modes are

supported. Power to the hard disk drives and video monitors can also be managed by

this AMI BIOS.

ACPI Support

AMI ACPI BIOS support Version 1.0/2.0 of Advanced Configuration and Power

interface specification (ACPI). It provides ASL code for power management and

device configuration c apabilities as defined in the ACPI specification, developed by

Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba.

Using Setup

When starting up the computer, press

<Del> during the Power-On Self-Test

(POST) to enter the BIOS setup utility.

In the BIOS setup utility, you will see

General Help description at the top right

description of the selected item.

Navigation Keys for that particular menu

are at the bottom right corner, and you can

use these keys to select item and change

the settings.

Notice

zThe default BIOS settings apply for most conditions to ensure optimum performance

of the motherboard. If the system becomes unstable after changing any settings,

please load the default settings to ensure system’s compatibility and stability. Use

Load Setup Default under the Exit Menu.

zFor better sys tem performance, the BIOS firmware is being continuo us ly upd ated.

The BIOS information described in this manual is for your reference only. The actual

BIOS information and settings on board may be slightly different from this manual.

zThe content of this manual is subject to be changed without notice. We will not be

responsib le for any mistakes found in this user’s manual and any system damage that

may be caused by wrong-settings.
