3.1 Introduction
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. 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 ASMB-310IR setup screens.
AMI's BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic
system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed up CMOS
so it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
