User’s Manual 24 Chapter2 Installation Chapter 3 BIOS Setup The AMI‘s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program that allows user to modify the basic system configuration and settings. The modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS RAM so that these data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM stay unchanged unless there is configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or new equipment is installed. AMI is a registered trademark of the American Megatrends, Inc. 3.1 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 appears 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 either of the two different ways – (1) hear a series of short beeps, or (2) see an error message on the screen display. There are two kinds of error: fatal or non-fatal. The system can usually continue to boot up sequence with the non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error messages usually appear on the screen along with the following instructions: “ Press to RESUME ” Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the bootup 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 immediately. If you don’t have the chance to respond, reset the system by simultaneously typing the , and keys, or by pushing the ‘ Reset ’ button on the system cabinet. You can also restart by turning the system OFF then ON. Note: BIOS versions are regularly updated form time to time without notices. Therefore, the options available in your setup screen may differ from the options shown in this manual.
