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-370 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.
