SIMULATION INTRODUCTION

This BIOS simulation is meant as a way to give users an online example of how to navigate through an AMI BIOS setup using illustrated graphics of the AMI BIOS and brief explanations of the navigation.

Using this simulation users can get a better understanding on how to navigate, change values, and otherwise manipulate the AMI BIOS. 

HOW IS THE AMI BIOS DIFFERENT

• Tab key is used to navigate.

• Arrow keys are used to change values.

• Values are automatically saved when changed, no need to save and exit like other BIOS setups.

NAVIGATION INFORMATION

At first glance users may consider the AMI BIOS a difficult BIOS to use. However, after a few minutes, this setup can be easily manipulated using only a few keys.

In the below BIOS screen shots you will notice that all of the information is contained within two pages. Although this may make the pages look more complicated, this can also help with locating values you may wish to change. 

To navigate the AMI BIOS, the user uses the tab or shift+tab keys to move between each of the available options. When highlighted, a user can then change a value by using the left or right arrow keys. If the main screen does not contain the settings the user wishes to change, they may switch pages by pressing the alt+p keys. These keys are also printed at the bottom of the BIOS setup page.

If the help portion of the screen contains more information than what can be displayed, pressing the PgUp or PgDn can display the remainder of the information.
