AMIBIOS has been integrated into many motherboards for over a decade. In the past,
people often referred to the AMIBIOS setup menu as BIOS, BIOS setup, or CMOS
setup.
American Megatrends refers to this setup as BIOS. Specically, it is the name of the
AMIBIOS8 BIOS setup utility. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the BIOS
setup screens.
Enter the BIOS
To enter the BIOS setup screens, follow the steps below:
Step1. Power on the motherboard.
Step2. Press the <Delete> key on your keyboard when you see the following
text prompt: Press DEL to run Setup.
Step3. After you press the <Delete> key, the main BIOS setup menu displays.
You can access the other setup screens from the main BIOS setup menu,
such as the Chipset and Power menus.
Appendix
The main BIOS setup menu is the rst screen that you can navigate. Each main
BIOS setup menu option is described in this user’s guide.
The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all
the options that can be congured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be congured.
Options is blue can be.
The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for
a text message. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white.
Often a text message will accompany it.
This manual describes the standard look of the BIOS setup screen.
The motherboard manufacturer has the ability to change any and all of the
settings described in this manual. This means that some of the options
described in this manual do not exist in your motherboard's AMIBIOS.
In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the BIOS setup screen.
There are a few cases that other keys are used, such as <F1>,<F2>, and
so on.

The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of
the BIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation
process. These keys include <F1>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, and so
on.
Hot Key Description
→ Left
← Right
The Left and Right <Arrow> keys allow you to select a BIOS setup screen.
For example: Main screen, Advanced screen, Chipset screen, and so on.
↑ Up
↓ Down
The Up and Down <Arrow> keys allow you to select an BIOS setup item or sub-
screen.
+- Plus/Minus The Plus and Minus <Arrow> keys allow you to change the field value of a
particular setup item. For example: Date and Time.
Tab The <Tab> key allows you to select BIOS setup elds.
F1 The <F1> key allows you to display the General Help screen.
Press the <F1> key to open the General Help screen.
F4
The <F4> key allows you to save any changes you have made and exit BIOS
Setup. Press the <F4> key to save your changes. Press the <Enter> key to save
the conguration and exit. You can also use the <Arrow> key to select Cancel and
then press the <Enter> key to abort this function and return to the previous screen.
ESC
The <Esc> key allows you to discard any changes you have made and exit the
BIOS Setup. Press the <Esc> key to exit the BIOS setup without saving your
changes. Press the <Enter> key to discard changes and exit. You can also use the
<Arrow> key to select Cancel and then press the <Enter> key to abort this function
and return to the previous screen.
Enter The <Enter> key allows you to display or change the setup option listed for a particular setup item. The <Enter> key can also allow you to display the setup sub-
screens.
AMIBIOS8 has default text messages built into it. The motherboard manufacture
retains the option to include, leave out, or change any of these text messages.
They can also add their own text messages. Because of this, many screen shots
in this manual are different from your BIOS setup screen.
There is a hot key legend located in the right frame on most BIOS setup screens.
The <F8> key on your keyboard is the Fail-Safe key. It is not displayed on the
BIOS key legend by default. To set the Fail-Safe settings of the BIOS, press the
<F8> key on your keyboard. It is located on the upper row of a standard 101
keyboard. The Fail-Safe settings allow the motherboard to boot up with the least
amount of options set. This can lessen the probability of conicting settings.
