Starting BIOS
AMIBIOS has been integrated into many motherboards for over a decade. In the past,
people often referred to the AMIBIOS setup menu as BIOS, BIOS setup, or CMOS
setup.

American Megatrends refers to this setup as BIOS. Specifically, it is the name of the
AMIBIOS BIOS setup utility. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the BIOS
setup screens.

Enter the BIOS

To enter the BIOS setup screens, follow the steps below:

Step1. Power on the motherboard.

Step2. Press the <Delete> key on your keyboard when you see the following
text prompt: Press DEL to run Setup.

Step3. After you press the <Delete> key, the main BIOS setup menu displays.
You can access the other setup screens from the main BIOS setup menu,
such as the Chipset and Power menus.

This manual describes the standard look of the BIOS setup screen.
The motherboard manufacturer has the ability to change any and all of the
settings described in this manual. This means that some of the options
described in this manual do not exist in your motherboard's AMIBIOS.

In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the BIOS setup screen.
There are a few cases that other keys are used, such as <F1>,<F2>, and
so on.

BIOS Setup Menu

The main BIOS setup menu is the first screen that you can navigate. Each main
BIOS setup menu option is described in this user’s guide.
The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all
the options that can be configured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be configured.
Options is blue can be.
The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for
a text message. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white.
Often a text message will accompany it.


English

AMIBIOS has default text messages built into it. The motherboard manufacture
retains the option to include, leave out, or change any of these text messages.
They can also add their own text messages. Because of this, many screen
shots in this manual are different from your BIOS setup screen.

The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of
the BIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation
process. These keys include <F1>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, and so
on.

There is a hot key legend located in the right frame on most BIOS setup screens.
