3.1 Introduction
AMI BIOS has been integrated into myriads of motherboards for decades. In the
past, people often referred to the AMI BIOS setup menu as BIOS, BIOS setup or
CMOS setup.
With the AMI BIOS Setup Utility, you can modify BIOS settings and control the spe-
cific features of your computer. The Setup Utility uses a number of menus for making
changes and turning the specific features on or off. This chapter describes the basic
navigation of the AIMB-784 setup screens.

AMI’s BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic
system configuration. This information is stored in NVRAM area so it retains the
Setup information when the power is turned off.
