Each AMIBIOS Setup option has two default settings (Optimal and Fail Safe). These
settings can be applied to all AMIBIOS Setup options when you select the appropriate
auto configuration option from the AMIBIOS Setup Main Menu.
You can use these auto configuration options to quickly set the system configuration
parameters which should provide the best performance characteristics, or you can select
a group of settings which have a better chance of working when the system is having
configuration-related problems.
Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings
This option allows you to load the Optimal default settings. These settings are best-case
values which should provide the best performance characteristics. If CMOS RAM is
corrupted, the Optimal settings are loaded automatically.
If you select the Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings option, the following
window displays:
You have two options:
Press 'N' and <Enter> to leave the current values in effect.
Press 'Y' and <Enter> to load the Optimal default settings.
Supervisor password disabled, press any key to continue
