Safety Precautions

Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.

1. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal
components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any
static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static electrical
charge.

2. Disconnect the power cord from the P1000 series prior to any installation. Be sure both
the system and the external devices are turned off. Sudden surge of power could ruin
sensitive components. Make sure the P1000 series is properly grounded.

3. Do not open the top cover of the system. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must,
only a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are
sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,
observe the following precautions:

 Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system

unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on a
human body.

 When handling boards and components, wear a grounding wrist strap available

from most electronic component stores.

2.10.1 Clear CMOS Select (JP1)

JP1 is used to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. Data, time and system setup
parameters stored in the CMOS memory can be cleared by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data.
The onboard battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which includes system setup information
such as system passwords.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the onboard battery.

3. Move the jumper clip from Pins 1-2 (default) to Pins 2-3. Keep the clip on Pins 2-3 for about
5~10 seconds, then move the clip back to Pins 1-2.

4. Re-install the battery.

5. Plug the power cord and turn on the computer.

6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.

Section 3

AMI BIOS Setup Utility

The AMI UEFI BIOS provides users with a built-in setup program to modify basic system
configuration. All configured parameters are stored in a flash chip to save the setup information
whenever the power is turned off. This Section provides users with detailed descriptions about
how to set up basic system configuration through the AMI BIOS setup utility.

3.1 Starting

To enter the setup screens, follow the steps below:

1. Turn on the computer and press <Del> during the Power On Self Test (POST) to enter BIOS
setup, otherwise, POST will continue with its test routines.

2. Once you enter the BIOS, the main BIOS setup menu displays. You can access the other
setup screens from the main BIOS setup menu, such as the Advanced and Chipset menus.

It is strongly recommended that you should avoid changing the chipset’s defaults. Both AMI and
your system manufacturer have carefully set up these defaults that provide the best performance
and reliability.

3.2 Navigation Keys

The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of the BIOS
setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation process. These keys
include <F1>, <F2>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, and so on.

NOTE: Some of the navigation keys differ from one screen to another.

Hot Keys

Description

 Left/Right

The Left and Right <Arrow> keys allow you to select a setup screen.

 Up/Down

The Up and Down <Arrow> keys allow you to select a setup screen or sub
screen.

Enter

The <Enter> key allows you to display or change the setup option listed for a
particular setup item. The <Enter> key can also allow you to display the setup
sub screens.

+ Plus/Minus

The Plus and Minus <Arrow> keys allow you to change the field value of a
particular setup item.

F1

The <F1> key allows you to display the General Help screen.

F2

The <F2> key allows you to Load Previous Values.

F3

The <F3> key allows you to Load Optimized Defaults.

F4

The <F4> key allows you to save any changes you have made and exit Setup.
Press the <F4> key to save your changes.

Esc

below carefully.

1. In your USB flash drive, create a new folder and name it “Axiomtek”. See the figure

below.

2. Copy a BIOS ROM file (e.g. MANO500.005) to the “Axiomtek” folder.

3. Insert the USB flash drive to your system.

4. Enter the BIOS setup menu and go to Advanced\Utility Configuration. Select BIOS Flash

Utility and press <Enter>.

5. BIOS automatically detects all USB drive(s) attached to the system. In this example, only

one USB drive is attached to the system, so you can see only one device displayed in the
figure below.

6. Select the USB drive containing the BIOS ROM file you want to update using the <> or

<> key. Then press <Enter> to get into the “Axiomtek” folder.

7. Now you can see the BIOS ROM file on the screen. Press <Enter> to select.

8. Select the Start to flash system BIOS option to begin the updating procedure.
