The AMI BIOS provides a setup utility program for specifying the system
congurations and settings which are stored in the BIOS ROM of the system.
When you turn on the computer, the AMI BIOS is immediately activated. After
you have entered the setup utility, use the left/right arrow keys to highlight a
particular conguration screen from the top menu bar or use the down arrow
key to access and congure the information below.
NOTE: In order to increase system stability and performance, our engineering
staff are constantly improving the BIOS menu. The BIOS setup screens and
descriptions illustrated in this manual are for your reference only, and may not
