Chapter 4

BIOS

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the H8DSR-8/H8DSR-i.

The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a ﬂ ash chip and can be easily upgraded using a

ﬂ oppy disk-based program.

Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or

deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual

Download area of our web site for any changes to BIOS that may not be reﬂ ected

in this manual.

Starting the Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, hit the <Delete> key while the system is booting-up.

(In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the BIOS setup screen. There are

a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F1>, <F2>, etc.) Each main BIOS

menu option is described in this manual.

The Main BIOS screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options

that can be conﬁ gured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be conﬁ gured. The right frame

displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text mes-

sage. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a

text message will accompany it. (Note that BIOS has default text messages built in.

We retain the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.) Set-

tings printed in Bold are the default values.

A "

" indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the <Enter>

key will open the list of settings within that submenu.

The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of

these hot keys (<F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at

any time during the setup navigation process.
