BIOS Setup

Introduction

The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the AMI BIOS Setup

program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic

system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM. The power of CMOS

RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains theSetup information when the power

is turned off.

Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without

accessing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and output

devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS activates at the

first stage o f the booting process, loading and executing the operating system. Some

additional features, such as virus and password prot ection or chipset fine-tuning

options are also included in BIOS.

The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in BIOS

Setup.
