After you have configured the mainboard and have assembled the components, turn on the

computer and run the software setup to ensure that the systems information is correct.

WARNING

•Due to the frequent upgrades of the AMI WINBIOS, this manual may not include descrip-

tions of all the features available to you in your current BIOS.

•Do not change the settings in the BIOS unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing or

when told to do so by a trained technician. Changing any of the BIOS settings, may affect

the performance of your system and can also cause your system to hang.

INSTALLING A NEW BIOS

position for a moment. Replace the jumper back to the normal position before flashing the

bios. You can also hold down the <END> key and then power on to clear the CMOS.

hit the <DEL> key when prompted to enter the BIOS setup screen.

tem features.
