ARK-1250L User Manual 28
3.1 Introduction
The AMI BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program — the BIOS Setup Utility — that
allows users to modify the basic system configuration. All configuration data is stored
in battery-backed CMOS to ensure the setup information is retained when the power
is turned off.
This chapter describes the basic navigation of the ARK-1250L BIOS setup screens.
3.2 Entering BIOS Setup
Turn on the computer and then press <ESC> or <DEL> to enter the BIOS Setup
menu.
3.2.1 Main Setup
Upon accessing the BIOS Setup Utility, users are presented with the Main setup
page. Users can always return to the Main setup page by selecting the Main tab. The
Main BIOS Setup page is shown below.
The Main BIOS setup page has two main frames. The left frame displays all the items
accessible on the Main page. Items that are grayed out cannot be configured,
whereas items presented in blue text can be configured. The right frame displays the
key legend.
Located above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an item
is selected in the left frame, the item is presented in white text and often accompa-
nied by a text message.
