WinBIOS Setup
Help screens
WinBIOS Setup provides Help screens for Advanced Setup, Chipset Setup,
Power Management Setup, and Peripheral Setup.
Help on mouse and keyboard is also available. Choose Help by pressing <Alt>
<H>.
Automatic WinBIOS Setup option selection
If selecting a certain setting for one WinBIOS Setup option determines the
settings for one or more other WinBIOS Setup options, AMIBIOS
automatically assigns the dependent settings and does not permit the end user
to modify these settings unless the setting for the parent option is changed.
7
For example, the Serial Port options in Peripheral Setup can be set to 2F8h,
3F8h, 2E8h, or 3E8h. If 2F8h is chosen by the end user for Serial Port 1,
AMIBIOS disables 2F8h for Serial Port 2. Invalid options are grayed and
cannot be selected.
Point and click interface
WinBIOS Setup uses the familiar point and click navigation technique. The
end user can point with the mouse anywhere on the screen, click the left mouse
button, and WinBIOS Setup control is transferred to the new location. The
previous window is closed. All parameters that were changed will
automatically be saved, pending the selection on the exit screen.
