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 S etup 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. B IOS activates at the
first stage o f the booting proc ess , l oading and executing the operating system. S ome
additional features, such as virus and password protection or chipset fine-tuning
options are al so included i n BIOS .
T he rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in B IOS
Setup.

Plug and Play Support

T his AMI BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A speci fic ati on.

EPA Green PC Support

T his AMI BIOS supports Versi on 1. 03 of the EPA Green PC specification.

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 power manag ement and

device configuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI specific ation, developed by
Microso ft, Intel and Toshiba.

PCI Bus Support

T his AMI BIOS also supports Version 2.3 of the Intel PCI (Peripheral C omponent
Int erconn ect ) local b u s speci fic ati on .

DRA M Support

DDR2 S DRAM (Double Data Rate II Synchronous DR AM) is support ed.

Su ppor t e d CP Us

T his AMI BIOS supports the Int el C PU.

Using Setup

When starting up the computer, press

<Del> during the Power-On Self-Test
(POST) to enter the B IOS 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 th ese keys to sel ect item and ch ange
the settings.

Notice

z T he 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 Defaul t under the Exit M enu.

z For better system perform ance, the BIOS firmwa re is being continuously updated.

T he BIOS information described in this manual is for your re ference only. The actual
BIOS information and s ettings on board may be slightly different from this manual.

z T he content of this manual is subject to be changed without notice. W e will not be

res pons ible for any mistakes found in this user’s manual and any system damage t hat
may be caused by wrong-settings.

Options: Enabled (Default) / Disabled

Hardware Prefetcher

The proces s or has a hardwar e p re fet ch er that au t om at i cal l y anal yzes it s req u iremen t s
and pre fet ch es dat a an d in s t ru ct ion s f ro m th e m emo ry i nto th e L ev el 2 cach e th at are

likely to be required in the near future. This reduces the latency associated with

Options: Enabled (Default) / Disabled

Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch

The processor has a hardware adjacent cache line prefet ch mech anism that
aut o mat i cal l y fetch es an ext ra 64-by t e cach e l i n e whenever th e p ro cess o r req uest s fo r
a 64-byte cache line. This reduces cache latency by making the next cache line
immediately available if the processor requires it as well.

Options: Enabled (Default) / Disabled

M ax CPUI D Val ue Lim i t

When the computer is booted up, the operating system executes the CPUID
instruction to identify the processor and its capabilities. Befo re it can do so, it must

first query the processor to find out the highest input value CPUID recognizes. This
determines the kind of basic information CP UID can provide the operating syst em.
