4. BIOS Setup
4.1 Entering Setup
AMI BIOS has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system
configuration. This information is stored in CMOS RAM whose power is supplied by a
battery so that it can retain the setup information even when the power is turned off. Press
Delete when you Power on or Reboot the computer system. (i.e. After the logo appears at
the center of the screen, please press Delete to enter the BIOS setup program). In the
BIOS, make sure that everything is working fine before you try to optimize it for maximum
performance.
