Section 4 Default - American Megatrends Apollo User Manual

Section 4 Default

The icons in this section permit you to select a group of settings for all WINBIOS Setup options. Not only
can you use these icons to quickly set system configuration parameters, you can choose a group of settings
that have a better chance of working when the system is having configuration-related problems.
Original Choose the Original icon to return to the system configuration values present in WINBIOS Setup when you
first began this WINBIOS Setup session.
Optimal You can load the optimal default settings for the WINBIOS by selecting the Optimal icon. The Optimal
default settings are best-case values that should optimize system performance. If CMOS RAM is corrupted,
the Optimal settings are loaded automatically.
Fail-Safe You can load the Fail-Safe WINBIOS Setup option settings by selecting the Fail-Safe icon from the Default
section of the WINBIOS Setup main menu.
The Fail-Safe settings provide far from optimal system performance, but are the most stable settings. Use this
option as a diagnostic aid if the system is behaving erratically.
