Introduction

BIOS Setup

The AIMB-288E Series system has AMI BIOS built in, with a CMOS SETUP utility
that allows users to configure required settings or to activate certain system features.
The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS RAM of the motherboard.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the board supplies the necessary power
to preserve the CMOS RAM.
When the power is turned on, press the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-
On Self Test) to access the CMOS SETUP screen.
