AMI BIOS SETUP 4.1 Introduction This chapter discusses AMI's Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is then stored in battery- backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
4.3 Using Setup In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries. Press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.
4.4 Getting Help Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or the F1 key again. If your computer cannot boot after making system changes with Setup, AMI BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings that resets your system to its defaults.
4.5 Main Menu Once you enter the AMIBIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept and enter the sub-menu.

Hardware Monitor Setup Use this menu to monitor your hardware. Auto-detect Hard Disks Use this menu to specify your settings for hard disks control. Change Supervisor Password Use this menu to set User and Supervisor Passwords. Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are factory settings for optimal performance system operations.
4.6 Standard CMOS Setup The items in Standard CMOS Setup Menu are divided into 10 categories. Each category includes no, one or more than one setup items. Use the arrow keys to highlight the item and then use the <PgUp> or <PgDn> keys to select the value you want in each item.

4.13 Change Supervisor Password You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The differences between are: Supervisor password: You can enter and modify the options of the setup menu. User password: You can only enter but cannot modify the options of setup menu. When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
Appendix A: Watchdog Timer The Watchdog Timer is a device to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from abnormal conditions that cause the system to crash. These conditions may result from an external EMI or a software bug. When the system stops working, hardware on the board will perform hardware reset (cold boot) to bring the system back to a known state.
