Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the
system is booting up.
Note:In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke theAMI BIOS
setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as
<F1>,<F2>,etc.
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be congured. Grayed-out options cannot be congured. Options in blue can be
congured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend.Above the key
legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the
left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note:
the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to
include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)
The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys".
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the
setupnavigationprocess.Thesekeysinclude<F3>,<F4>,<Enter>,<ESC>,arrow
keys, etc.
Note 1:  <F3> isused to load optimal default settings. <F4> is used to
save the settings and exit the setup utility.
Note 2: Options printed in Bold are default settings.
