The AMI UEFI BIOS provides users with a built-in setup program to modify basic system
configuration. All configured parameters are stored in a flash chip to save the setup information
whenever the power is turned off. This chapter provides users with detailed description about
how to set up basic system configuration through the AMI BIOS setup utility.

Turn on the computer and press <Del> during the Power On Self Test (POST) to enter

Once you enter the BIOS, the main BIOS setup menu displays. You can access the other

setup screens from the main BIOS setup menu, such as the Advanced and Chipset menus.
If your computer cannot boot after making and saving system changes with BIOS
setup, you can restore BIOS optimal defaults by setting JP8 (see section 2.4.1).
Note
It is strongly recommended that you should avoid changing the chipset's defaults. Both AMI and
your system manufacturer have carefully set up these defaults that provide the best
performance and reliability.

Navigation Keys
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 <F1>, <F2>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, and so on.
Some of the navigation keys differ from one screen to another.
