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

devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS activates at the
first stage o f the booting process, loading and executing the operating system. Some
additional features, such as virus and password prot ection or chipset fine-tuning
options are also included in BIOS.
The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in BIOS
Setup.

Plug and Play Support

This AMI BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A specification.

EPA Green PC Support

This AMI BIOS supports Version 1.03 of the EPA Green PC specification.

APM Support

This AMI BIOS supports Version 1.1&1.2 of the Advanced Power Management
(AP M) speci fic atio n. Power m anagement features are implem ented via the System

Management Int errupt (SMI). Sleep and Suspend power management modes a re
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 specifi cation (ACPI). It provides ASL code for power manag ement and

device con figuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI specification, developed by
Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba.

PCI Bus Support

This AMI BIOS also supports Version 2.3 of the Intel PCI (Peripheral Component
Int erconn ect ) local bus speci fic ati on.

DRAM Support

DDR2 SDRAM (Double Data Rate II Synchronous DRAM) is supported.

Su ppor t e d CP Us

This AMI BIOS supports the AMD CPU.

Using Setup

W hen 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
use these k eys to sele ct item and ch ange
the settings.

Notice

z The default BIOS settings apply for most conditions to ensure optimum performan 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 firmwa re is being continuously updated.

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.

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

The Overclock Navigator provides 3 different engines helping you to overclock your
system. T hese engines will boost your system performance to different level.

Options:

V6 Tech Engine
This engine will make a good over-clock perfo rmance.

V8 Tech Engine
This engine will make a better over-clock perfo rmance.

V12 Tech Engine
This engine will make a best over-clock performance.

Cautions:

1. Not every AMD CP U performs the above overclock setting ideally; the difference may vary

with the installed CPU model.

2. From BET experiment, the Atholon64 FX CPU is not suitable for this A.O.S. feature.
