BIOS Setup Utility
The AMI BIOS Setup Utility program is used to configure the main components of the system.
The system ships from the factory with the correct system parameters for the configuration.
Unless you add optional hardware, you do not need to run the BIOS Setup Utility to operate the
system. However, you might want to run the Setup Utility to set features that customize the
system, such as security features.
System configuration information is stored in nonvolatile memory. A nonvolatile memory
device retains its data when system power is turned off. Nonvolatile memory in your system is
stored in a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) memory chip backed up by a
battery on the system board. The battery supplies continuous power to CMOS memory and
maintains configuration information when system power is off.
NECC recommends that you print out or write down the current BIOS Setup parameters and
store the information in a safe place. This lets you restore the system to the current parameters if
you ever need to replace the battery (see “CMOS Battery” in Section 3).
