3.1 Introduction
AMIBIOS has been integrated into motherboards for over a decade. In the past, peo-
ple often referred to the AMIBIOS setup menu as BIOS, BIOS setup or CMOS setup.
With the AMIBIOS Setup program, you can modify BIOS settings and control the
special features of your computer. The Setup program uses a number of menus for
making changes and turning the special features on or off. This chapter describes the
basic navigation of the PCE-5126 setup screens.

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