UEFI BIOS Setup
Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the AMI UEFI BIOS Setup
program on this motherboard. T he S etup program allows users to modify the basic
system configuration and save these settings to NVRAM.
UEFI BIOS determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a
disk. This sys t em co ntrols most of the input and output d ev ices s uch as ke ybo a rd,
mouse, s erial ports and dis k drives. BIOS act ivates at the first stage of the booting
process, lo ad ing and executing the op era t ing system. Some add itional featu res, such
as vir us and pass word p rotectio n or chipset fine-tuning op tions are also inc lud ed in
UEFI BIOS.
The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in UEFI
BIOS Setup.

Using Setup
Whe n starting up the c o mput er, press
<Del> during the Power-On Self-Test
(POST) to enter t he UEFI BIOS setup
utility.
In the UEFI BIOS setup utility, you will
see Gene ral Help description at the top
right corner, and this is providing a brief
descriptio n of the selected item.
Navigation Keys for that particular menu
are at the bottom right corner, and you can
use these keys to select item and c h ange
the settings.
Notice
z The default UEFI BIOS settings apply for most conditions to ensure optimum
performance of the motherboard. If the system becomes unstable after changing
any settings, p leas e load t he default settings to ensure system’s comp atibility and
stability. Use Load Setup Default under the Exit Menu.
z For better system performance, the UEFI BIOS firmware is being continuously
updated. T he UEFI BIOS informatio n d escrib ed in this manual is for your reference
only. The actual UEFI BIOS information and settings on board may be slightly
different from this manual.
z The content of this manual is subject to be changed wit hout notice. W e will not be
resp onsible for any mist akes found in this user’s manual and any system dama ge that
may b e c aused by wrong-sett ings.
