Introduction AMIBIOS has been integrated into motherboards for over two decades. With the AMIBIOS Setup program, users can modify BIOS settings and control various sys- tem features. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the ARK-3532 BIOS setup screens. AMI's BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration.
BIOS supports your CPU. If there is no number assigned to the patch code, please contact an Advantech application engineer to obtain an up-to-date patch code file. This will ensure that your CPU‘s system status is valid.
3.2.2 Advanced BIOS Features Setup Select the Advanced tab from the ARK-3532 setup screen to enter the Advanced BIOS Setup screen.
