Running AMIBIOS Setup
AMIBIOS Setup resides in ROM and is available when the computer is turned on. AMIBIOS Setup permits
the end user to configure these system parameters (type of disk drives and monitor, day, date, and time, and
so on). The parameters are stored in CMOS RAM. When the computer is turned off, a back-up battery
provides power to CMOS RAM, which retains these parameters. The system is configured with these values
when powered on.
Default Values
If the configuration values in CMOS RAM become corrupted, the system is configured with the default
settings stored in this ROM file. There are two sets of BIOS settings stored in the ROM file: the BIOS
Setup defaults and the Power-On defaults. See page 61 for more information on default settings.

When POST completes, the following appears:
Hit <DEL> if you want to run SETUP
Press <Del> to run AMIBIOS Setup.
Warning Message
