G41D3 C BIOS Manual
BIOS Setup
Introducti on
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. T he power of CMOS
RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup information when the power
is turned off.
Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without
accessing programs from a disk. T his system controls most of the input and output
devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS activates at the
first stag e o f the booting proc ess, loading and executing the operating system. S om e
additional features, such as virus and password protection or chipset fine-tuning
options are also included i n BIOS .
T he rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in BIOS
Setup.
Plug and Play Support
T his AMI BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A specifi c ati on.
EPA Green PC Support
T his AMI BIOS supports Version 1. 03 of the EPA Green PC specification.
APM Supp ort
This AMI BIOS supports Version 1.1&1.2 of the Advanced Power Management
(AP M) speci fic ation . Power m anagem ent fe atures a re im pl emented via t he S yst em
Management Interrupt (SMI). Sleep and Suspend power management modes are
supported. Power to the hard disk drives and vi deo moni tors can also be managed by
this AMI BIOS.
ACPI Supp ort
AMI ACPI BIOS support Version 1.0/2.0 of Advanced Configuration and Power
interfa ce specifi cation (ACPI). It provides ASL code for pow er management and
device con figuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI specification, developed by
Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba.

PCI Bus Support
T his AMI BIOS also supports Version 2.3 of the Intel PCI (Peripheral Component
Int erconn ect) lo cal bu s speci ficat i o n.
DRA M Support
DDR3 SDR AM (Do uble D ata Rat e III S ynchronous DRAM) is supported.
Su ppor t e d CP Us
T his AMI BIOS supports the Intel CPU.
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
corner, and this is providing a brief
description of the selected item.
Navigation Keys for that particular menu
are at the bottom right corner, and you can
us e thes e keys to sele ct it em and ch ange
the settings.
Notice
z T he default BIOS settings apply for most conditions to ensure optimum per forman ce
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.
z For better system perform ance, the BIOS firmware is being continuously updated.
T he BIOS information descri bed in t his manual is for your reference only. The actual
BIOS information and s ettings on board may be slightly different from thi s manual.
z T he content of this manual is subject to be changed without notice. We will not be
responsible for any mistakes found in this user’ s manual and any system damage that
may be caused by wrong-settings.
