4.BIOS Setup

4.1Entering Setup

AMI BIOS has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in CMOS RAM whose power is supplied by a battery so that it can retain the setup information even when the power is turned off. Press Delete when you Power on or Reboot the computer system. (i.e. After the logo appears at the center of the screen, please press Delete to enter the BIOS setup program). In the BIOS, make sure that everything is working fine before you try to optimize it for maximum performance.
