SUPER PIIIDM6/PIIIDM4/PIIIDM3/PIIIDME Manual

The system can be configured so that all users must enter a password every time the system boots or when the AMIBIOS setup is executed. You can set either a Supervisor password or a User password. If you do not want to use a password, just press <Enter> when the password prompt appears.

The password check option is enabled in the Advanced Setup by choosing either Always or Setup. The password is stored in CMOS RAM. You can enter a password by typing it out on the keyboard or by selecting each letter via the mouse or a pen stylus. Pen access must be customized for each specific hardware platform.

When you select to change the Supervisor or User password, AMIBIOS prompts you for the new password. You must set the Supervisor password before you can set the User password. Enter a 1-6 character password. (It will not appear on the screen when typed.) Retype the new password as prompted and press <Enter>. Make sure you write it down. If you forget it, you must clear CMOS RAM and reset the pass- word.

Change Language Setting

Because this version of BIOS only supports English at this time, this setting cannot be chosen. Future releases may support other languages.

Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings

The Optimal default settings provide optimum performance settings for all devices and system features.

Auto Configuration with Fail Safe Settings

The Fail-Safe default settings consist of the safest set of parameters. Use them if the system is behaving erratically. They should always work but do not provide optimal system performance characteristics.

Save Settings and Exit

Highlight this and hit <Enter> when you wish to save any changes made to settings in BIOS and exit back to the system boot-up procedure.
