Auto-Detect Hard Disks
Choose this option to let AMIBIOS automatically detect
the hard disk drive parameters. The Standard CMOS
Setup screen will appear after AMIBIOS has configured
the drives. Press <Esc> and choose Save Settings and Exit
to reconfigure the system configuration with the new hard
disk drive parameters.
AMIBIOS Password Support
Two Levels of Password Protection AMIBIOS provides both a Supervisor
and a User password. If you use both passwords, the
Supervisor password must be set first.
The system can be configured so that all users must enter
a password every time the system boots or when
AMIBIOS Setup is executed, using either or both the
Supervisor password or User password.
The Supervisor and User passwords activate two different
levels of password security.
Set the Password Check option in Advanced Setup (see
the Advanced Setup section ) by choosing either Always
(the password prompt appears every time the system is
powered on) or Setup (the password prompt appears only
when AMIBIOS Setup is executed). The password is
encrypted and stored in NVRAM.
If you select password support, you are prompted for a 1 –
6 character password. Type the password on the keyboard.
The password does not appear on the screen when typed.
Make sure you write it down. If you forget it, you must
drain NVRAM and reconfigure.
Remember the Password Keep a record of the new password when the
password is changed. If you forget the password, you must
erase the system configuration information in NVRAM
(Non-Volatile Random Access Memory). See page 75 for
information about erasing system configuration
information.
