Starting BIOS
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. Specifically, 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.
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.

BIOS Setup Menu


The main BIOS setup menu is the first screen that you can navigate. Each main
BIOS setup menu option is described in this users guide.
The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all
the options that can be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured.
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.

English

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.
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>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, and so
on.
There is a hot key legend located in the right frame on most BIOS setup screens.
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 subscreen.

+- 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 fields.

F1

The <F1> key allows you to display the General Help screen.
Press the <F1> key to open the General Help screen.

F10

The <F10> key allows you to save any changes you have made and exit BIOS
Setup. Press the <F10> key to save your changes. Press the <Enter> key to save
the configuration 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 subscreens.

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 conflicting settings.


English

Main Setup
When you first enter the BIOS 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.

System Time/System Date


Use this option to change the system time and date. Highlight System Time or System Date using the <Arrow> keys. Enter new values through the keyboard. Press the
<Tab> key or the <Arrow> keys to move between fields. The date must be entered in
MM/DD/YY format. The time is entered in HH:MM:SS format.

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.

English
