CHAPTER 7 BIOS

Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the RMC7189. The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a
Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This chap- ter describes the basic navigation of the AMI
BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.
Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the system is booting up.
Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup screen.
There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F1>, <F2>, etc.
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two
main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. Grayed-out options cannot
be configured. Options in blue can be configured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend.
Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the left
frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note: the AMI BIOS has
default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these
text messages.)
The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of the AMI BIOS
setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation process. These keys include
<F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, ar- row keys, etc.
Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.
How To Change the Configuration Data
The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the AMI
BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing <Del> during system boot.
