BIOS

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup utility for the X9DB3-F/X9DBi-F/X9DB3-

TPF/X9DBi-TPF. It also provides the instructions on how to navigate the AMI BIOS

Setup utility screens. The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can

be easily updated.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS Setup utility screens, press the <Del> key while the system

is booting up.

Note: In most cases, the <Del> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup

screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F3>,

<F4>, etc.

Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup

menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can

be congured. Grayed-out options cannot be congured. Options in blue can be

congured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key

legend is an area reserved for informational text. When an option is selected in the

left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often, informational text about the option will

display on the right.

Note: The AMI BIOS has default informational messages built in. The

manufacturer retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these

informational messages.

The AMI BIOS Setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys."

Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during setup

navigation. These keys include <F3>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.

Note 1: In this section, options printed in Bold are default settings.

Note 2: <F3> is used to load optimal default settings. <F4> is used to save

the settings and exit the setup utility.
