Chapter 3 AMI BIOS Setup 3-2

3.1 System Test and Iinitialization

These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines

encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short

beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds

of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually continue the

boot up sequence with non-fatal errors.

System configuration verification

These routines check the current system configuration stored in the

CMOS memory and BIOS NVRAM. If system configuration is not

found or system configuration data error is detected, system will

load optimized default and re-boot with this default system

configuration automatically.

There are four situations in which you will need to setup system

configuration:

1. You are starting your system for the first time

2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system

3. The system configuration is reset by Clear-CMOS jumper

4. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration

information has been erased.

The ACP-1103 CMOS memory has an integral lithium battery

backup for data retention. However, you will need to replace the

complete unit when it finally runs down.
