AMI BIOS Setup

 Overview

This chapter provides a description of the AMI BIOS. The BIOS setup menus and

available selections may vary from those of your product. For specific information on

the BIOS for your product, please contact ViewSonic®.

NOTE: The BIOS menus and selections for your product may vary from those

in this chapter. For the BIOS manual specific to your product, please contact

ViewSonic

®

AMI's ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program, which allows the user to modify

the basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will be

stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be retained even when the power

is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will not need to be

changed unless there is a configuration change in the system, such as a hard drive

replacement or when a device is added.

It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail, which will cause data loss in the CMOS only.

If this happens you will need to reconfigure your BIOS settings.

 Main Menu

The BIOS Setup is accessed by pressing the F2 button after the Power-On Self-Test

(POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins. Once you

enter the BIOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main
