UEFI BIOS Setup

Introduction

The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the AMI UEFI BIOS Setup

program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic

system configuration and save these settings to NVRAM.

UEFI BIOS determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a

disk. This system controls most of the input and output devic es s uch as keybo ard,

mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS activates at the first stage of the booting

process, loading and executing the operating sys tem. Some add itional features, such

as virus and password pro tectio n or chips et fine-tuning options are also included in

UEFI BIOS.

The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in UEFI

BIOS Setup.
