This chapter describes the AMI BIOS setup utility for the X9DRT-P/PT/PIBF. It also
provides the instructions on how to navigate the AMI BIOS setup utility screens.
The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated.
Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS setup utility screens, press the <Del> key while the system
is booting up.
Note: In most cases, the <Del> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup screen.
There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F3>, <F4>, etc.
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. 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 in blue can be
configured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for informational text. When an option is selected in
the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often informational text will accompany it.
Note: The AMI BIOS has default informational messages built in. The manufacturer
retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these informational messages.
The AMI BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys."
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during setup
navigation. These keys include <F3>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.
Note 1: Options printed in Bold are default settings.
Note 2: <F3> is used to load optimal default settings. <F4> is used to save the
settings and exit the setup utility.
How To Change the Configuration Data
The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the AMI BIOS setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing
<Delete> at the appropriate time during system boot.
