Starting the Setup Utility

memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of the AMI BIOS

identification string is displayed at the left bottom corner of the screen below the copyright

Caution: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue. Flashing the
wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event shall the manufacturer
be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damage arising from a BIOS
update. If you have to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset the system while the BIOS
is being updated to avoid possible boot failure.
