Setup Menu

The computer employs the latest AMI Core BIOS, which is stored in Flash memory. The Flash memory supports
the Plug and Play specification, and contains a BIOS Setup program, the Power On Self Test (POST) routine, and
the PCI auto-configuration utility.
This mainboard supports system BIOS shadowing enabling the BIOS to execute from 64-bit onboard write-
protected DRAM.
Configure such items as:
Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals
Password protection from unauthorized use
Power Management features
This Setup utility should be executed under the following conditions:
When changing the system configuration
When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are prompted to make changes to the Setup
utility
When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts
When changing the password or making other changes to the security setup
Note:
Only items in brackets [ ] can be modified. Items that are not in brackets are display only.

BIOS Setup Options at Boot

The user will be able to initiate SETUP by pressing the respective keys during the POST:
<F2> – Enter the BIOS Setup

Console Redirection

The console redirection allows a remote user to diagnose and fix problems on a server, which has not successfully
booted the OS. The centerpiece of the console redirection is the BIOS Console. The BIOS Console is a Flash
ROM-resident utility that redirects input and output over a serial or modem connection.
The BIOS supports console redirection to a serial port. If serial port based headless server support is provided by
the system, the system must provide support for redirection of all BIOS driven console I/O to the serial port. The
driver for the serial console must be capable of supporting the functionality documented in the ANSI Terminal
Definition.

Enable/Disable Console Redirection

The console redirection function can be enabled/disabled in the BIOS Setup menu.
