Section 1 Running Amibios Setup; Warning Message - American Megatrends Enterprise-III User Manual

Section 1
Running AMIBIOS Setup
AMIBIOS Setup resides in ROM and is available when the computer is turned on. AMIBIOS
Setup permits the end user to configure these system parameters (type of disk drives and
monitor, day, date, and time, and so on). The parameters are stored in CMOS RAM. When the
computer is turned off, a back-up battery provides power to CMOS RAM, which retains these
parameters. The system is configured with these values when powered on.
Default Values
If the configuration values in CMOS RAM become corrupted, the system is configured with the
default settings stored in this ROM file. There are two sets of BIOS settings stored in the ROM file:
the BIOS Setup defaults and the Power-On defaults. See page 89 for more information on default
settings.

Press <Del> to run AMIBIOS Setup.
