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. 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 stage of 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.

Using Setup
W hen st arting 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 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.
z For better system perform ance, the BIOS firmware 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 differ ent from this manual.
z The 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.
