BIOS
4.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the X11SAE/
X11SAE-F motherboard. The BIOS is stored on a chip and can be easily
upgraded using a ash program.
Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have
been added or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual.
Please refer to the Manual Download area of our website for any changes
to BIOS that may not be reected in this manual.
Starting the Setup Utility
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, hit the <Delete> key while the system
is booting-up. (In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the
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 screen has two main frames. The left frame displays
all the options that can be congured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be
congured. 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 that BIOS has default text messages built in. We retain the
option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.) Settings
printed in Bold are the default values.
A " " indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the
<Enter> key will open the list of settings within that submenu.
The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot
keys. Most of these hot keys (<F1>, <F2>, <F3>, <Enter>, <ESC>,
<Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at any time during the setup navigation
process.
