CHAPTER 3. AMI BIOS SETUP The AMI‘s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program that allows user to modify the basic system configuration and settings. The modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS RAM so that these data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM stay unchanged unless there is configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or new equipment is installed.
Page 28
AMI BIOS SETUP Standard CMOS Setup : Use this menu for basic system configurations, such as time, date, etc. Advanced CMOS Setup: Use this menu to specify your settings for Advance CMOS. Advanced Chipset Setup: Use this menu to change the values in the chipset registers and optimize your system’s performance.
Page 30
AMI BIOS SETUP Time: This allows you to set the system time that you want (usually the current time). The time format is <hour><minute><second>. Pri Master/ Pri Slave: Press PgUp/<+> or PgDn/<-> to select the hard disk drive type. The specification of hard disk drive will show up on the right hand according to your selection.
Page 32
AMI BIOS SETUP Advanced Setup options are displayed by choosing the Advanced icon from the WINBIOS Setup main menu. All Advanced Setup options are described in this section. Quick Boot: Setting the item to “Enabled” allows the system to boot within 5 seconds by skipping some check items.
Page 33
AMI BIOS SETUP Initial Display Mode: Set this option to Silent to enable the AMIBIOS SilentBoot feature. This option specifies the initial display mode when the system boots. The settings are: Setting Description BIOS The standard BIOS boot messages displayed before booting the system will appear on the system monitor.
Page 34
AMI BIOS SETUP L2 Cache: The option enables secondary cache memory. If enabled is selected, external cache memory is enabled. If disabled is selected, external cache memory is disabled. System BIOS Cacheable : When this option is set to Enabled, the contents of the F0000h system memory segment can be read from or written to L2 secondary cache memory.
Page 36
AMI BIOS SETUP Configure SDRAM Timing by SPD: This option provides DIMM plug-and-play support by Serial Presence Detect (SPD) mechanism via the System Management Bus (SMBus) interface. You can disable this option to manage the following SDRAM timing options by yourself. In addition, SDRAM operating timings may follow serial presence from EEPROM content by setting this option to "Enabled", and all of SDRAM timing options will be not available and hidden.
Page 39
AMI BIOS SETUP Parallel Port Mode : This option specifies the parallel port mode. ECP and EPP are both bidirectional data transfer schemes that adhere to the IEEE P1284 specifications. The default setting is Normal. The other settings are: Setting Description Normal Normal The normal parallel port mode is used.
AMI BIOS SETUP 3.8 PCI P LUG AND ETUP Both the ISA and PCI buses on the CPU card use system IRQs & DMAs. You must set up the IRQ and DMA assignments correctly through the PCI / Plug and Play Setup utility, otherwise the SBC will not work properly.
Page 41
AMI BIOS SETUP PCI/PnP Setup options are displayed by choosing the PCI/PnP Setup icon from the WINBIOS Setup main menu. All PCI/PnP Setup options are described in this section. Plug and Play Aware O/S: Set this option to “ Ye s” if the operation system installed in the computer is Plug and Play-aware.
Page 42
AMI BIOS SETUP onboard PCI IDE, IRQ9 will still be available for PCI and PnP devices. Settings: ISA/EISA and PCI/PnP. Reserved Memory Size : This option specifies the size of the memory area reserved for legacy ISA adapter cards. The settings are Disabled, 16K, 32K, or 64K. The optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are Disabled.

AMI BIOS SETUP computer. The setting to determine when the password prompt is required is the PASSWORD CHECK option of the ADVANCED BIOS FEATURES menu. If the PASSWORD CHECK option is set to Always, the password is required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to Setup, password prompt only occurs when you try to enter Setup.

GLOSSARY 8-Bit Bus – Data is transmitted to expansion slots and other components on the bus only along 8 parallel data lines. 10Base-T – It is a 10Mbps IEEE 802.3/Ethernet standard that uses unshielded twisted pair cable specification. 10Base-T supports network configurations using the CSMA/CD access method over a twisted pair transmission system, up to a maximum of 100 meters in length without the use of a repeater.
Page 53
GLOSSARY bps – Bits per second. Also often preceded by k (kilo/thousands), kbps – Kilobits per second, and M (mega/million), Mbps – Megabits per second. Bps – Bytes per second. (1 Byte is 8 Bits) kbps – kilobytes per second. Mbps – megabytes per second.
Page 54
GLOSSARY EISA or MCA Bus – Data is transmitted along 32 data lines to adapter cards designed specifically to work with the 32-bit buses. MCA expansion slots cannot accept 8-bit or 16-bit adapter cards. EISA stands for Extended Industry Standard Architecture, while MCA stands for MicroChannel Architecture.

GLOSSARY Capacitate keyboard has a spring that causes the plastic and the metal plunger to move near two pads that have large plates (plated in tin, nickel, and copper). These pads are connected to the keyboard’s printed circuit board. Hard contact keyboard causes the key cap to collapse a foam rubber dome that presses against a sheet of plastic on the bottom of which is metallic area connected to the rest of the keyboard’s circuit board.
Page 56
GLOSSARY PCI Bus (Peripheral Component Interconnect) – It is a connection slot in a motherboard that supports 32-bit bus transfer rates. The now standard PCI Local Bus carries data along at least 32 lines, that is, at least 32 bits at a time. Local bus computer designs add special buses so the CPU can communicate directly with key components like the monitor, resulting in much better performance.
Page 57
GLOSSARY SCSI-2 – The second generation of SCSI; includes many improvements to SCSI-1, including Fast SCSI, Wide SCSI, and mandatory parity checking. SCSI-3 – The third generation of SCSI; introduces Fast-20 and Fast-40 as improvements to the parallel bus. The standard also includes a number of specifications for high-speed serial bus architectures such as SSA, Fiber Channel, and IEEE 1394.
