Introduction

AMIBIOS has been integrated into myriad motherboards for decades. In the past,
people often referred to the AMIBIOS setup menu as BIOS, BIOS setup or CMOS
setup.
With the AMIBIOS Setup program, you can modify BIOS settings and control the
special features of your computer. The Setup program uses a number of menus for
making changes and turning the special features on or off. This chapter describes the
basic navigation of the AIMB-701 setup screens.
AMI's BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic
system configuration. This information is stored in NVRAM area so it retains the
Setup information when the power is turned off.
