CHAPTER 5 BIOS SETTING
Introduction
The purpose of this chapter is to describe the settings in the AMI BIOS Setup
program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to modify the
basic system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM. The power of
CMOS RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup information when
the power is turned off.
Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without
accessing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and
output devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS
activates at the first stage of the booting process, loading and executing the
operating system. Some additional features, such as virus and password
protection or chipset fine-tuning options are also included in BIOS.
