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 stage o f the booting process, l oading and executing the operating system. Som e
additional features, such as virus and password protection or chipset fine-tuning
options are also included in BIOS .
T he rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in BIOS
Setup.
Plug and P l ay Support
T his AM I BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1. 0A specific ation.
EPA Green PC Support
T his AM I BIOS supports Version 1.03 of t he EPA Green PC specification.
APM Support
This AMI BIOS supports Version 1.1&1.2 of the Advanced Power Management
(AP M) speci fic ation. Power m anagement features are i mplem ented vi a the Sy stem
Management Interrupt (SMI). Sleep and Suspend power management modes are
supported. Power to the hard disk drives and video m onitors 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 (ACP I). It provides ASL code for power management and
device con figuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI specification, developed by
Microsoft, Intel and T oshiba.

Notice
z T he 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 S etup Default under the Exit Menu.
z For better system perform ance, the BIOS firmware is being continuously updated.
T he BIOS information described i n this manual is for your reference only. The actual
BIOS information and setti ngs on board may be slightly different from t his manual.
