BIOS Settings

This chapter introduces how to set BIOS configuration data.

3.1 BIOS Introduction

Using the AMI BIOS Setup program, users can modify the BIOS settings and control various system features. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the BIOS setup screens for the DS-780 series.

The AMI BIOS's ROM features a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in the flash portion of the CMOS to ensure the setup information is retained even when the system is powered off.

3.2 Entering Setup

3.2.1 Main Setup

When first entering the BIOS Setup Utility, users will land on the Main setup screen. Users can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab.

The Main BIOS setup screen features two main frames. The left frame displays all configurable options. The blue options can be configured, whereas the gray options cannot. The right frame displays the key legend, above which is an area reserved for text messages. When an option is selected in the left frame, the text becomes white and is often accompanied by a text message.

Figure 3.1 Main setup screen

■ System Time/System Date

Use this option to change the system time and date. Highlight System Time or System Date using the keys. Enter new values via the keyboard. Press the key or the keys to move between fields. The date must be entered in MM/DD/YY format. The time must be entered in HH:MM:SS format.

3.2.2 Advanced BIOS Setup

Select the Advanced tab from the DS-780 setup screen to enter the Advanced BIOS setup screen. You can select any of the items in the left frame of the screen, such as CPU configuration, to go to the sub menu for that item. You can display an Advanced BIOS Setup option by highlighting it using the keys. All Advanced BIOS Setup options are described in this section. The Advanced BIOS Setup screens are shown below. The sub-menus are described on the following pages.
