AUTO-DETECT

The Auto-Detect Hard Disks option allows you to have AMIBIOS automatically detect

HARD DISKS

the type of hard disk drive(s) in your system. The automatic detection functions only if

 

you have IDE drives. The parameters are reported on the Standard CMOS Setup screen.

 

AMIBIOS searches first for the primary master and slave hard disk drives, then for the

 

secondary master and slave drives. If it can access a drive, it reads the disk parameters.

 

It then searches the AMIBIOS drive type table for matching parameters to determine the

 

disk type and displays both the type and parameters on the screen. If no matching

 

parameters are found in the table, AMIBIOS specifies the type as "User" and fills in the

 

parameter values it found on the drive. If it cannot access the drive or if it is not an IDE

 

drive, AMIBIOS times out and specifies that the disk drive is "Not Installed."

 

_______________________________________________________________________

 

NOTE: The auto detect feature displays disk parameter values as established by the

 

drive manufacturer. If the drive has been formatted using any other values, accepting the

 

auto detect values will cause erratic behavior. You must either reformat the drive to meet

 

the manufacturer's specifications or use Standard CMOS Setup to enter parameters which

 

match the current format of the drive.

 

 

 

_______________________________________________________________________

 

If you do not want to accept the hard disk type and its associated parameters as reported

 

by AMIBIOS or if the drive is "Not Installed," you may use Standard CMOS Setup to set

 

up the correct parameters for the drive.

 

 

 

Once the parameters are correct for all of the drives, you may exit from the Standard

 

CMOS Setup screen and save the settings in the CMOS.

 

 

CHANGE

AMIBIOS Setup has an optional password feature which can be configured so that a

PASSWORD

password must be entered each time the system boots or just when a user attempts to

 

enter AMIBIOS Setup. (See the Advanced CMOS Setup section of this manual for infor-

 

mation on how to enable the Password Check option.)

 

 

 

The Change Supervisor Password and Change User Password options on the

 

AMIBIOS Setup Main Menu allow you to establish passwords, change the current

 

passwords or disable the password prompts by entering null passwords. The passwords

 

are stored in CMOS RAM.

 

 

 

The Change User Password function is accessible only if the supervisor password has

 

been established previously. If you have signed on under the user password, you cannot

 

change the supervisor password.

 

 

 

_______________________________________________________________________

 

NOTE: The null password is the system default and is in effect if a password has not

 

been assigned or if the CMOS has been corrupted. In this case, the "Enter CURRENT

 

Password" prompt is bypassed when you boot the system, and you must establish a new

 

password.

If you select the Change Supervisor Password option, the following window displays:
