Safety Information Electrical safety To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before relocating the system. When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device. Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all power cables are unplugged. Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit. ...

Chapter 3: AMI BIOS UTILITY This chapter provides users with detailed descriptions on how to set up a basic system configuration through the AMI BIOS setup utility. 3.1 Starting To enter the setup screens, perform the following steps: Turn on the computer and press the <Del> key immediately. After the <Del> key is pressed, the main BIOS setup menu displays. Other setup screens can be accessed from the main BIOS setup menu, such as the Chipset and Power menus. 3.2 Navigation Keys The BIOS setup/utility uses a key‐based navigation system called hot keys. Most of the BIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation process. Some of the hot keys are <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, and <Arrow> keys. Some of the navigation keys may differ from one screen to another. Left/Right The Left and Right <Arrow> keys moves the cursor to select a menu. Up/Down The Up and Down <Arrow> keys moves the cursor to select a setup screen or sub‐screen. +− Plus/Minus The Plus and Minus <Arrow> keys changes the field value of a particular setup setting. Tab The <Tab> key selects the setup fields. F1 The <F1> key displays the General Help screen. F10 The <F10> key saves any changes made and exits the BIOS setup utility. Esc The <Esc> key discards any changes made and exits the BIOS setup utility. Enter The <Enter> key displays a sub‐screen or changes a selected or highlighted option in each menu. ...
