  • Page 9: System Bios

    System BIOS BIOS, an acronym for Basic Input Output System, stands as the first link between hardware and software in coordinating the startup configuration of computers. Plug and play ready, AMIBlOS automatically configures the computer's hard drives, disk drives, processors, chipsets, memory, and boot-up of the operating system. The system BIOS, from AMI, provides ISA PnP and PCI PnP compatibility.
  • Page 10 add-in boards, you must specify the interrupts used by non PnP ISA boards in the Setup program. Chapter 2 tells how to use the Setup program. The PCI auto- configuration program complies with version 2.1 of the PCI BIOS specification. IDE Auto-configuration When an IDE drive is installed in the system, the IDE auto-configuration function automatically detects and configures the drive for operation in the system.
