Setting Description
Disabled
AMIBIOS test all system memory. AMIBIOS waits up to 40
seconds for a READY signal from the IDE hard disk drive.
AMIBIOS waits for .5 seconds after sending a RESET signal
to the IDE drive to allow the IDE drive time to get ready
again. AMIBIOS checks for a <Del> key press and runs
AMIBIOS Setup if the key has been pressed.
Enabled
AMIBIOS does not test system memory above 1 MB.
AMIBIOS does not wait up to 40 seconds for a READY
signal from the IDE hard disk drive. If a READY signal is
not received immediately from the IDE drive, AMIBIOS
does not configure that drive. AMIBIOS does not wait for .5
seconds after sending a RESET signal to the IDE drive to
allow the IDE drive time to get ready again. You cannot run
AMIBIOS Setup at system boot, because there is no delay
for the Hit <Del> to run Setup message.
The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are Disabled.
