UEFI BIOS Setup


Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the AMI UEFI
BIOS Setup program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows
users to modify the basic system configuration and save these settings to
NVRAM.
UEFI BIOS determines what a computer can do without accessing
programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and output
devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS
activates at the first stage of the booting process, loading and executing
the operating system. Some additional features, such as virus and
password protection or chipset fine-tuning options are also included in
UEFI BIOS.
The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings
in UEFI BIOS Setup.
Plug and Play Support
This AMI UEFI BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A
specification.
EPA Green PC Support
This AMI UEFI BIOS supports Version 1.03 of the EPA Green PC
specification.
ACPI Support
AMI ACPI UEFI BIOS support Version 1.0/2.0 of Advanced Configuration
and Power interface specification (ACPI). It provides ASL code for power
management and device configuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI
specification, developed by Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba.
PCI Bus Support
This AMI UEFI BIOS also supports Version 2.3 of the Intel PCI (Peripheral
Component Interconnect) local bus specification.
DRAM Support
DDR3L SO-DRAM (Double Data Rate III Synchronous DRAM) is
supported.
