Chapter 7 AMI BIOS Installation 7.1 BIOS Introduction AMI BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM supports Intel processors. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system. 7.2 BIOS Setup The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames.
7.3 Main Setup When you first enter the Setup Utility, you will enter 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. 9 System Time/System Date Use this option to change the system time and date. Highlight System Time or System Date using the keys. Enter new values through the keyboard.
7.4 Advanced BIOS Setup Select the Advanced tab from the setup screen to enter the Advanced BIOS Setup screen. You can select any of the items in the left frame of the screen, such as CPU Configuration, to go to the sub menu for that item. You can display an Advanced BIOS Setup option by highlighting it using the keys. All Advanced BIOS Setup options are described in this section. The Advanced BIOS Setup screen is shown below. The sub menus are described on the following pages.
9 IDE Configuration Settings You can use this screen to select options for the IDE Configuration Settings. Use the up and down keys to select an item. Use the and keys to change the value of the selected option. A description of the selected item appears on the right side of the screen. The settings are described on the following pages. An example of the IDE Configuration screen is shown below. SATA Device, IDE Master, IDE Slave Select one of the hard disk drives to configure it.
9 APM Configuration You can use this screen to select options for the ACPI Advanced Configuration Settings. Use the up and down keys to select an item. Use the and keys to change the value of the selected option. A description of the selected item appears on the right side of the screen. The settings are described on this page. The screen is shown below. ACPI Version Features Set this value to allow or prevent the system to be complaint with the ACPI 3.0 specification.
9 APM Configuration Set this value to allow Power Management/APM support. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default setting is Enabled. Power Button Mode This option specifies how the externally mounted power button on the front of the computer chassis is used. The default setting is On/Off. Suspend Power Saving Type Set this value to allow the Suspend Power Saving type to be specified. The default setting is C3. Restore on AC/Power Loss Set the system status after AC power loss.
7.5 Boot Setting 9 Boot Device Priority Use this screen to specify the order in which the system checks for the device to boot from. To access this screen, select Boot Device Priority on the Boot Setup screen and press . The following screen displays: 1st Boot Device Set the boot device options to determine the sequence in which the computer checks which device to boot from. The settings are Removable Dev., Hard Drive, or USB-CDROM.
To change the boot order, select a boot category type such as Hard disk drives, USB devices, or SATA devices from the boot menu. For example, if the 1st boot device is set to SATA devices, then BIOS will try to boot to SATA devices first. Note: When you select a boot category from the boot menu, a list of devices in that category appears. For example, if the system has three hard disk drives connected, then the list will show all three hard disk drives attached.
7.6 Security Setup Two Levels of Password Protection 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 Setup is executed, using either or either the Supervisor password or User password. The Supervisor and User passwords activate two different levels of password security.
The Security Setup screen is shown below. The sub menus are documented on the following pages. Supervisor Password Indicates whether a supervisor password has been set. If the password has been installed, Installed displays. If not, Not Installed displays. User Password Indicates whether a user password has been set. If the password has been installed, Installed displays. If not, Not Installed displays. Change Supervisor Password Select this option and press to access the sub menu.
