4. AMI BIOS SETUP

4.1 Introduction

This chapter discusses AMI's Setup program built into the ROM BIOS.
The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system
configuration. This special information is then stored in battery­backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power
is turned off.

4.2 Starting Setup

AMI BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the
computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the
CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and
configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating
system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to
the operating system.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in
one of two ways:

1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or

2. By pressing the <Del>key when the following message appears
briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST.

Press DEL to enter SETUP

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to
enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then
ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may
also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete>
keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the
system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you
will again be asked to...

PRESS F2 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

22

4.3 Using Setup

In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter>
to select, use the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries.
Press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table
provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program
using the keyboard.

F4 key Reserved
F5 key Reserved
F6 key Reserved
F7 key Reserved
F8 key Reserved
F9 key Reserved
F10 key Save all the CMOS changes, only for Main

Menu

23

4.4 Getting Help

Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the
appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the
highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or the F1
key again.

If your computer cannot boot after making system changes with
Setup, AMI BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings that
resets your system to its defaults.

The best advice is to only alter settings that you thoroughly
understand. Hence, we strongly recommend that you avoid making
any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been
carefully chosen to provide the absolute maximum performance and
reliability. A minor change to the chipset setup may cause
compatibility problems.

24

4.5 Main Menu

Once you enter the AMIBIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu
will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from
several setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to
select among the items and press <Enter> to accept and enter the
sub-menu.

Note that a brief description of each highlighted selection appears at
the bottom of the screen. The main menu includes the following
main setup categories. Recall that some systems may not include all
entries.

Standard CMOS Setup

Use this menu for basic system configuration.

Advanced CMOS Setup

Use this menu to set the Advanced Features available on your
system.

Advanced Chipset Setup

Use this menu to change the values in the chipset registers and
optimize your system's performance.

Power Management Setup

When Disabled, SMI will not be initialized, and complete power
management functionality is removed until this opt ion is set to
Enabled.

PCI / Plug and Play Setup

This entry appears if your system supports PnP / PCI.

Peripheral Setup

Use this menu to specify your settings for integrated peripherals.

25

Hardware Monitor Setup

Use this menu to monitor your hardware.

Auto-detect Hard Disks

Use this menu to specify your settings for hard disks control.

Change Supervisor Password

Use this menu to set User and Supervisor Passwords.

Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings

Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are factory
settings for optimal performance system operations. While AMI has
designed the custom BIOS to maximize performance, the factory has
the right to change these defaults to meet their needs.

Auto Configuration with Fail-Safe Settings

Use this menu to load the BIOS default values for the minimal/stable
performance for your system to operate.

Save Settings and Exit

Save CMOS value changes to CMOS and exit setup.

Exit Without Saving

Abandon all CMOS value changes and exit setup.

26

4.6 Standard CMOS Setup

The items in Standard CMOS Setup Menu are divided into 10
categories. Each category includes no, one or more than one setup
items. Use the arrow keys to highlight the item and then use the
<PgUp> or <PgDn> keys to select the value you want in each item.

The option allow you to reserve IRQs for legacy ISA adapter cards.
The option determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the
pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the
system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the
ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the pool, the end
user can use the option to reserve the IRQ by assigning an
ISA/EISA setting to it. Onboard I/O is configured by AMIBIOS. All
IRQs used by onboard I/O are configured as PCI/PnP.

4.13 Change Supervisor Password

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them.
The differences between are:

Supervisor password:
You can enter and modify the options of the setup menu.

User password:

You can only enter but cannot modify the options of setup menu.
When you select this function, th e following message will appear
at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

ENTER PASSWORD

Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press
<Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously
entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to
confirm the password. Type the password again and press
<Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and
not enter a password.

To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted
to enter the password. A message will confirm the password will
be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot
and you can enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED

When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter
it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an
unauthorized person from changing any part of your system
configuration.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the
BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted.
This will prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS
Features Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). If
the Security option is set to “Always” password will be required
both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting
only occurs when trying to enter Setup.

Appendix A: Watchdog Timer

The Watchdog Timer is a device to ensure that standalone systems can always
recover from abnormal conditions that cause the system to crash. These
conditions may result from an external EMI or a software bug. When the system
stops working, hardware on the board will perform hardware reset (cold boot) t o
bring the system back to a known state.
Three I/O ports control the operation of Watchdog Timer.

443 (hex) Write Set Watchdog Time period
443 (hex) Read Enable the Watchdog Timer
043/843 (hex) Read Disable the Watchdog Timer

Prior to enable the Watchdog Timer, user has to set the time-out period. The
resolution of the timer is 1 second and the range of the timer is from 1 sec to 255
sec. You need to send the time-out value to the I/O port— 443H, and then enable
it by reading data from the same I/O port— 443H. This will activate the timer
that will eventually time out and reset the CP U board. To ensure that this reset
condition won’t occur, the Watchdog Timer must be periodically refreshed by
reading the same I/O port 443H. This must be done within the time-out period
that is set by the software, please refer to the example program. Finally, we have
to disable the Watchdog timer by reading the I/O port— 843H or 043H. Otherwise
the system could reset unconditionally.

A tolerance of at least 5% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines in the
operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that can be very time-consuming.
Therefore if the time-out period has been set to 10 seconds, the I/O port 443H
must be read within 7 seconds.
