Setting Description
Disabled
AMIBIOS test all system memory. AMIBIOS waits up to 40 seconds for a
READY signal from the IDE hard disk drive. AMIBIOS waits for .5 seconds
after sending a RESET signal to the IDE drive to allow the IDE drive time to
get ready again. AMIBIOS checks for a <Del> key press and runs AMIBIOS
Setup if the key has been pressed.
Enabled
AMIBIOS does not test system memory above 1 MB.
AMIBIOS does not wait up to 40 seconds for a READY signal from the IDE
hard disk drive. If a READY signal is not received immediately from the IDE
drive, AMIBIOS does not configure that drive. AMIBIOS does not wait for .5
seconds after sending a RESET signal to the IDE drive to allow the IDE drive
time to get ready again.
You cannot run AMIBIOS Setup at system boot, because there is no delay for
the
