BIOS Manual
AMIBIOS checks for a <Del> key press and runs AMIBIOS
Setup if the key has been pressed.
Enabled
AMIBIOS does not test system memory above 1 MB.
AMIBIOS does not wait up to 40 seconds for a READY signal
from the IDE hard disk drive. If a READY signal is not
received immediately from the IDE drive, AMIBIOS does not
configure that drive. AMIBIOS does not wait for .5 seconds
after sending a RESET signal to the IDE drive to allow the IDE
drive time to get ready again. In Enabled, keyboard will be
bypassed.
Note: You cannot run AMIBIOS Setup at system boot, because there is
no delay for the "Hit <Del> to run Setup" message
