BIOS Setup
Introduction
T he purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the AMI BIOS Setup program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM. T he power of CMOS RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk. [. . . ] T his is a useful feature when using such USB devices with operating systems that do not natively support USB (e. g. Options: Enabled (Default) / Disabled / Auto
