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 AMIBIOS8 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 key on your keyboard when you see the following text prompt: Press DEL to run Setup.

Step3. After you press the 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 key is used to invoke the BIOS setup screen. There are a few cases that other keys are used, such as ,, 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.

AMIBIOS8 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 , , , , keys, and so on.

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

Hot Key Description
→ Left← Right	The Left and Rightkeys allow you to select a BIOS setup screen. For example: Main screen, Advanced screen, Chipset screen, and so on.
↑ Up↓ Down	The Up and Downkeys allow you to select an BIOS setup item or sub-screen.
+- Plus/Minus	The Plus and Minuskeys allow you to change the field value of a particular setup item. For example: Date and Time.
Tab Thekey allows you to select BIOS setup fields.
F1	Thekey allows you to display the General Help screen. Press thekey to open the General Help screen.
F10	Thekey allows you to save any changes you have made and exit BIOS Setup. Press thekey to save your changes. Press thekey to save the configuration and exit. You can also use thekey to select Cancel and then press thekey to abort this function and return to the previous screen.
ESC	Thekey allows you to discard any changes you have made and exit the BIOS Setup. Press thekey to exit the BIOS setup without saving your changes. Press thekey to discard changes and exit. You can also use thekey to select Cancel and then press thekey to abort this function and return to the previous screen.
Enter	Thekey allows you to display or change the setup option listed for a particular setup item. Thekey can also allow you to display the setup sub-screens.

The key on your keyboard is the Fail-Safe key. It is not displayed on the BIOS key legend by default. To set the Fail-Safe settings of the BIOS, press the key on your keyboard. It is located on the upper row of a standard 101 keyboard. The Fail-Safe settings allow the motherboard to boot up with the least amount of options set. This can lessen the probability of conflicting settings.

Main Setup

When you first enter the BIOS Setup Utility, you will enter the Main setup screen.

You can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab. There are two Main Setup options. They are described in this section. The Main BIOS Setup screen is shown below.

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 through the keyboard. Press the key or the keys to move between fields. The date must be entered in MM/DD/YY format. The time is entered in HH:MM:SS format.

The time is in 24-hour format. For example, 5:30 A.M. appears as 05:30:00, and 5:30 P.M. as 17:30:00.

Advanced

Select the Advanced tab from the BIOS 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 screen is shown below. The sub menus are described on the following pages.
