Introduction
The purpo se o f this manual i s to descr ibe the set tings in the AMI UEFI BIOS Setup program on t his
motherboard. The Setup 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
system controls m ost of the input and ou tput d evices su ch as keyboar d, mous e , serial ports and disk
drives. BI O S activates a t the first stage of th e booting process, l oadin g and executing the op erating
system. Some addi tio nal feat ur es, such as virus and password protect ion or chipset fine-tuning
optio ns are also incl uded i n UEFI BIOS.
The rest of this ma nual will to g uide you t hro ugh t he optio ns and set ti ngs in UEFI BIOS Setup.
