Introduction

The AMI BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program — the BIOS Setup Utility — that

allows users to modify the basic system configuration. All configuration data is stored

in battery-backed CMOS to ensure the setup information is retained when the power

is turned off.

This chapter describes the basic navigation of the ARK-1250L BIOS setup screens.

Turn on the computer and then press <ESC> or <DEL> to enter the BIOS Setup

menu.

Upon accessing the BIOS Setup Utility, users are presented with the Main setup

page. Users can always return to the Main setup page by selecting the Main tab. The

Main BIOS Setup page is shown below.

The Main BIOS setup page has two main frames. The left frame displays all the items

accessible on the Main page. Items that are grayed out cannot be configured,

whereas items presented in blue text can be configured. The right frame displays the

key legend.

Located above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an item

is selected in the left frame, the item is presented in white text and often accompa-

nied by a text message.

<Tab> key or the <Arrow> keys to move between fields. The date must be entered in
