BIOS

4.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the X11SSM-F motherboard. The BIOS

is stored on a chip and can be easily upgraded using a flash program.

Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added

or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual

Download area of our website for any changes to BIOS that may not be reflected in

this manual.

Starting the Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, hit the <Delete> key while the system is booting-up. (In

most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the 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 screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can

be configured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be configured. 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 that BIOS has default text messages built in. We retain the option to include, omit, or

change any of these text messages.) Settings printed in

Bold are the default values.

A " " indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the <Enter> key will

open the list of settings within that submenu.

The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of these

hot keys (<F1>, <F2>, <F3>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at any time

during the setup navigation process.
