4. BIOS Setup

BIOS Setup

AMI’s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the

basic system configuration and settings. The modified data will be stored in a

battery-backed CMOS RAM so that this data will be retained even when the power

is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM remains

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

replacement or new equipment installment.

Running AMI BIOS

The Setup Utility is stored in the BIOS ROM. When the power of the computer

system is turned on, a screen message will appear to give you an opportunity to call

up the Setup Utility while the BIOS will enter the Power On Self Test (POST)

routines. The POST routines perform various diagnostic checks while initializing the

board hardware. If the routines encounter an error during the tests, the error will

be reported in one of two ways, a series of short beeps or an error message on the

screen. There are two kinds of errors, fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually

continue the boot up sequence with non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error messages

usually appear on the screen along with the following instructions:

“ Press <F1> to RESUME ”

Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the boot up sequence.

After the POST routines are completed, the following message appears:

“ Press DEL to enter SETUP ”

Entering Setup

Turn on the power of the computer system and press <Del> immediately. If you

don’t have the chance to respond, reset the system by simultaneously pressing the

<Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys, or by pushing the ‘ Reset ’ button on the system

cabinet. You can also restart by turning the system OFF then ON.

CMOS Setup Utility

To access the AMI BIOS SETUP program, press the <DEL> key. The screen display

will appears as shown below:

1 2 ... 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 ... 66 67
