3: AMI BIOS UTILITY
This chapter provides users with detailed descriptions on how to set up a basic system configuration
through the AMI BIOS setup utility.
3.1 Starting
To enter the setup screens, perform the following steps:
• Turn on the computer and press the <Del> key immediately.
• After the <Del> key is pressed, the main BIOS setup menu displays. Other setup screens can be
accessed from the main BIOS setup menu, such as the Chipset and Power menus.
3.2 Navigation Keys
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.
Some of the hot keys are <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, and <Arrow> keys.
Left/Right
The Left and Right <Arrow> keys moves the cursor to select a
menu.
Up/Down
The Up and Down <Arrow> keys moves the cursor to select a
setup screen or sub-screen.
+− Plus/Minus
The Plus and Minus <Arrow> keys changes the field value of a
particular setup setting.
Tab
The <Tab> key selects the setup fields.
F1
The <F1> key displays the General Help screen.
F10
The <F10> key saves any changes made and exits the BIOS
setup utility.
Esc
The <Esc> key discards any changes made and exits the BIOS
setup utility.
Enter
The <Enter> key displays a sub-screen or changes a selected or
highlighted option in each menu.
3.3 Main Menu
The Main menu is the screen that first displays when BIOS Setup is entered, unless an error has
occurred.
When you first enter the BIOS Setup Utility, you will encounter the Main setup screen. You can always
return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab. There are two Main Setup options. They are
described in this section. The Main BIOS Setup screen is shown below.

The Main BIOS setup screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be
configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured; options in blue can. 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.
l System Date
Use this function to change the system date.
Select System Date using the Up and Down <Arrow> keys. Enter the new values through the
keyboard. Press the Left and Right <Arrow> keys to move between fields.
The date setting must be entered in MM/DD/YY format.
l System Time
Use this function to change the system time.
Select System Time using the Up and Down <Arrow> keys. Enter the new values through the
keyboard. Press the Left and Right <Arrow> keys to move between idles.
The time setting is entered in HH:MM:SS format.
Note: The time is in 24-hour format. For example, 5:30 A.M. appears as 05:30:00, and 5:30 P.M. as
17:30:00.
l Access Level
Display the access level of the current user in the BIOS.
3.4 Advanced Menu
The Advanced Menu allows you to configure your system for basic operation. Some entries are defaults
required by the system board, while others, if enabled, will improve the performance of your system or let
you set some features according to your preference. Setting incorrect field values may cause the
system to malfunction.
