Description of bios in Russian. Important moments in setting up AMI BIOS
You have boot CD-DVD disk And you want to install the operating system on the computer, in order to do it. tune accordingly Bios. And boot from the disk. We can also use the choice of devices in the boot menu, but this function is not always present, for example. on older motherboards. There is also no and any universal button to enter Bios. or boot menu. Many maternal manufacturers are prescribed for this purpose. different keys.
The surest way to identify such keys is to read the documentation for this laptop or computer, but what kind of key it should be pressed. at the very beginning of the download . Once you have turned on your computer, it automatically starts, located in the BIOS program Boot-Routine.which in turn causes a subroutine POST. (eng. POWER-ON SELF TEST), it checks the processor, RAM (RAM), Hard disk (HDD), motherboard elements and other main periphery. One short The signal says that such a self-test made successfully. Approximately the passage can look like POST.:
The most common key to enter BIOS - DEL, We will give other options below. On the screen you see such an invitation: " PRESS DEL TO RUN SETUP", i.e. press the key Del. To log in to Bios.. Also during passage POST. A graphic screen saver can be rebuilt, which indicates the name of the computer or motherboard manufacturer.
List of most common keys to enter the boot menu:
Acer. - ESC or F12 or F9; ASRock - F11; ASUS. - ESC or F8; COMPAQ. - ESC or F9; Dell. - F12; ECS - F11; Fujitsu Siemens. - F12; Gigabyte. - F12; HP. - ESC or F9; Intel - F10; Lenovo. - F12; MSI (Micro-Star) - F11; Packard Bell. - F8; Samsung - ESC; Sony Vaio. - F11; Toshiba. - F12.
The menu to select boot devices looks roughly as follows:
You just need to choose from the list the desired device and press ENTER.

AMI BIOS - Changing device load priority.
When changing parameters and navigation in menu Bios. Use Enter, +/- and arrow keys on the key. Move the arrows to the tab Boot. and select Boot Device. Priority:
Here we will see sequence download: First floppy drive ( Floppy Drive.), then rigid disk ( Hard Drive.), and the third device is turned off ( Disabled.). If you want to boot from the disk, then you need the first device in this list the CD-DVD drive. Switch using the arrows to the first device ( 1st Boot Device.), press the key ENTER And in the menu that appears, select CDROM.Loading from flash drives produced similarly.
To exit BIOS while saving made settings ( Save and EXIT.), press the key F10 and confirm ( OK.) Key ENTER.
PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS - Changing device load priority
Select in the menu Advanced Bios Features. And enter ( ENTER).
Here if we want to load from the drive, you need to make this device became the first in the list. Switch the arrows to the first boot device ( First Boot Device.) and change on CDROM.. Next, go out with the preservation of the settings made ( Save and EXIT.), clicking F10.
Error Sounds when passing POST
With the initial self-testing system (passage POST.) Errors may occur. If they are not critical, then after withdrawing a specific message, the computer will continue to download. If serious errors are detected, the computer system will try to inform about them, but it is often impossible to display such information to the screen.
In this case, you will need to be guided sound signals (They are supplied by a system speaker, speaker, upon completion of the procedure POST.). With the help of them, the system reports the results of self-test. Below is given List of such signals for different versions Bios ( Bios.). Therefore, if your computer "beats", then you can easily determine the fault of the PC.

Without exaggeration, the BIOS configuration is the basis of any computer, this is perhaps the most important process in the system setting.
Many of you know that BIOS is a basic I / O system, from which the resistance and reliability of the system in general directly depends. To optimize the computer and increase its performance, you need to start with basic settings. Here you can achieve the highest performance.
And now about everything Read more. To enter the BIOS configuration program (or Setup.), just click " Del." (or " F2.") When loading a computer.
In order to return the default settings, in the BIOS settings, select "Load Setup Defaults", the computer will restart with factory settings.
Below I will indicate the basic settings for both modern PCs and deserved old men, which I would like to return to the system.
CPU LEVEL 1 Cache - Be sure to enable this parameter. It is responsible for using a first-level cache, significantly improves the performance of the entire system.
CPU LEVEL 2 Cache - This parameter plays an equally important role than the previous one. Therefore, turn it on. For reference: Turning off the cache memory can be done only when it is out of order, but this will significantly reduce the performance of the system as a whole.
CPU Level 2 Cache ECC Check - Parameter for switching on / off algorithm for checking error correction in the 2nd level kesh. The inclusion of this parameter slightly reduces performance, but increases the stability of work. If you are not engaged in processor acceleration, I advise you not to include this option.
Boot Up System Speed - The parameter is HIGH or Low and determines the processor speed and system bus frequency. Our choice - High.
Cache Timing Control - The parameter controls the speed of reading the memory of the 2nd level. Our choice - Fast (Turbo) - high speed, high performance.
With the processor setting, we are completed, we turn to the setting of RAM. These settings are either in the "Chipset Features Setup" section, or here "Advanced".
DRAM FREQUENCY. - The parameter determines the speed of the RAM. If you know exactly this parameter (usually specified on the package to the memory module), then set it manually if you doubt, select the AUTO value.
SDRAM CYCLE LENGTH - The parameter determines the number of the clock required to issue data to the bus after the CAS signal arrives. One of the most important parameters affecting performance. If the memory allows you to set the value 2.
Ras-to-Cas Delay - the number of clocks required for the receipt of the data string to the amplifier. Also affects performance. Value 2 is preferable and suitable in most cases.
SDRAM RAS PRECHARGE TIME - Recharge time of memory cells. Typically used value 2.
FSB / SDRAM / PCI FREQ - Determines the frequency of the FSB bus, SDRAM and PCI memory.
Memory Hole AT 15-16m - The parameter is responsible for the selection of part of the address space for the memory of ISA devices. Be sure to enable this parameter if the computer has old extension boards for the ISA bus, for example, the corresponding sound card.
Optimization Method. - The parameter determines the overall speed of data exchange with RAM. Determined by the experimental way, starting with the greatest value.
There are other parameters whose settings will enable significantly speed up the data exchange process with RAM.
The lower the value of time delays or timing (this slang IT engineers and system administrators), the performance is higher, but perhaps all this will lead to unstable work.
Experiment on health, do not forget that you can reset the settings and download factory settings.
CPU to PCI WRITE BUFFER - When the processor works with a PCI device, it records in ports. The data is entered into the bus controller and then to the device registers.
If we turn on this option, the recording buffer is activated, which accumulates the data before the PCI device is ready. And the processor should not wait for it - it can release the data and continue the execution of the program. I advise you to enable this option.
PCI Dynamic Bursting - This parameter is also associated with the record buffer. It includes the data accumulation mode at which the recording operation is performed only when a whole package of 32 bits is assembled in the buffer. Include.
PCI Latency Timer. - The parameter sets the number of clocks allocated to each PCI device to carry out the data exchange operation. The more clocks, the higher the efficiency of the devices. However, in the presence of ISA devices, this parameter cannot be increased to 128 clocks.
The video card, as a rule, has the greatest impact on performance in games, so the optimization of the video card settings can not well affect the overall speed of the system.
This is especially true for the happy owners of old video cards with the AGP interface. Consider the main parameters.
DISPLAY CACHE WINDOW SIZE - The parameter determines the size of the cached memory for the needs of the video system. If you have less than 256 MB of RAM, set the value of this parameter 32 MB. Otherwise, set the value of 64 MB.
Agp Capability - The parameter determines the mode of operation of the video card. The main characteristic of the performance of AGP video cards. Select the fastest mode - 8x.
However, not all video cards support this mode. If, after rebooting the computer, the operating system is not loaded or the image has deteriorated, reduce the value of this parameter.
AGP MASTER 1WS READ / 1 WS WRITE - The parameter sets the number of clocks of one reading cycle or recording. As with the settings of RAM, the timing parameter significantly increases the performance of the process, but instability of reading and writing operations is possible.
When this parameter is enabled, the read / write will occur in one clock - the performance is maximum. When the parameter is turned off - the system works stably, but slowly.
VGA 128 Range Attribute - Includes the clipboard between central processor and video adapter. Performance increases.
Also, I also advise you to disable the AGP Spread Spectrum parameter and be sure to enable AGP Fast Write Capability.
HDD S.M.A.R.T CAPABILITY. - The parameter includes or disables the diagnostic system S.A.A.R.T., which warns of possible refusals hard disk. Use this system or not, to solve you. I personally turn off it, because I use specialized software. During operation, this function slightly reduces the speed of the computer.
IDE HDD Block Mode - The parameter responsible for block data transmission. Those. More information is transmitted per unit of time, which also improves system performance. It is possible to automatically define a suitable parameter.
IDE Burst Mode. - The parameter connects the data clipboard with iDE interfacewhich also increases performance.
Virus Warning - I always turn off this feature. It will not replace the antivirus, but the performance is inhibited.
QUICK POWER ON SELF TEST (or QUICK BOOT) - You must enable this parameter so that you do not test the hardware to your computer. The benefits are also practically no, and the resource is spent.
BOOT UP FLOPPY SEEK - Disable this option. We do not need to search for a boot floppy disk when you start the computer.
And most importantly, if the system after the restart does not load and / or go sound signals, go back to the BIOS and download the default settings (I described how it is done at the very beginning of the article).
Or still there is one faithful way to reset the settings - turn off the computer, unplug the power cord, open the lid system Block And carefully get a battery from the motherboard, insert minutes after 2 minutes, collect a computer and try running. The parameters should be reset, the BIOS configure returns to the default values, and the system will load in normal mode.
If you need to open the AMI BIOS settings menu, you need to access it. To do this, during the start of loading the system, press the corresponding key. Depending on the manufacturer of the motherboard, it will be F2, F10 or DEL. It is recommended to press several times to be confident.
Chief section
Consideration of work with AMI BIOS will be carried out on the basis of version 02.61. In general, then the interface was only changed, and the opportunities remained old. Below is presented appearance The main section.

BIOS - Description, Installation, Setup, Options
In our age computer technologyThe computer has become no longer a luxury, but the usual subject of life. Someone buys a computer for games, someone for study, someone's work ...No matter what purpose you purchased a computer! Another thing is, if you have it, then sooner or later you will have to reinstall it! So this monster works, that as if you did not appeal with him (little by setting programs and removing them, or vice versa) when using the computer, this result is inevitable. Just someone else has this operation earlier and more often, and some less often.So imagine that the day will come when your computer needs reinstallation.Of course, you can call the masters (good with these problems now is not) and pay a N-number amount of money.Either seriously save and do everything yourself. But for this you need to learn a little BIOS (BIOS) of your computer. This is what this article was written for this.
BIOS: shortbase or beginning of the study of the structure and destination BIOS
BIOS (BASIC INPUT / OUTPUT SYSTEM -BASTING I / O) - is stored in computer permanent memory software, whose main task is to conduct initial initialization (download) of all computer components (POST -POWER-ON SELF TEST) and, depending on the results obtained, loading the appropriate configuration. Initially, the main task of the BIOS was to process the I / O operations required to control the keyboard, video card, discs, ports and other devices, but with the advent of new operating systems, these functions have become less in demand.In addition, using the interface in BIOS User. It can override some system configuration parameters that allow you to disconnect the equipment, include technology, change the voltage and frequency of the main nodes, thus changing the system performance.Not knowing the specific assignment of BIOS items, I do not advise you to make the BIOS to reconfigure as it can lead to a complete failure of the system and stop the start of the system startup.
How to enter the BIOS?
In order to enter the BIOS, you need to turn on the computer, but before the operating system boot starts, press a specific key.
Depending on the BIOS, it can be the Del, F9, F1 or F2 key, (most often it is still the DEL key, the remaining keys are mainly used to enter the BIOS on laptops) usually the system itself gives you a hint, though sometimes it is hidden by the logo Or "Speaks" very quickly. (Be careful when you start the computer and try to read everything that happens at this moment on the monitor). Everything looks like this. We need a string. which is the penultimate below. (the rest for you now does not matter)
After opening the BIOS menu, it can be turned out differently depending on your BIOS.
Or so
We must definitely determine the actions and settings that you want to do in the BIOS! In no case, not touching and without pressing anything superfluous and with what you could not figure it out. (Otherwise, simply put by your BIOS, a fluffy animal will come in the people of the scribe).The transitions on the menu of your BIOS are made using the arrow keys (up, down, right and left). The mouse in Bios does not work. You can also need the key and minus keys, ENTER, and the return key to the top menu from under the menu it is the ESC-outlet.After completing the BIOS configuration, in order to save the changed configuration, you need to exit "with the settings" (usually the item Save & Exit Setup) or press F10 and confirm confidence in the correctness of your actions by pressing the key and selecting the OK or Y button by pressing ENTER ( It depends on the version of your BIOS).
Basic concepts and options bios
In different Biosah, they may differ slightly.
1st Boot Device. - The first boot device [XXX Drive] - the device specified in this line will be the first to be the first to load the operating system from which the BIOS will try to load the operating system.
2nd Boot Device. - The second boot device [XXX Drive] - the device specified in this line will be the second account with which the BIOS will try to load the operating system.
3rd Boot Device. - Third boot device [XXX DRIVE]
- The device specified in this line will be the third from which the BIOS will try to load the operating system.
3.3V Voltage, 5V Voltage, 1 Voltage - Displays the voltage on the power lines +3.3 V, +5 +12 V in the monitoring section.
C1E Support - Technology C - C1E Support Technology, which allows you to disable (configure) a processor unit during system inactivity to reduce its power consumption.
The Enablt option allows technology.
Chasis Fan Ratio. - Definition of the minimum speed of rotation of body fans - In the "Chasis Fan Ratio" setting, the percentage is minimal the speed of rotation of the body fans, the value of which when adjusting the control function of the rotation speed of Chasis Q-Fan Control will correspond to the minimum processor temperature specified in the "Chassis setting Target Temperature. Virtually the minimum rate of body fans is determined by the value of the minimum supply voltage installed in the fan housing and is calculated based on the fact that with a supply voltage 12 to the speed reaches 100%.
Controller Mode. - Select the SATA controller mode. In the CONTROLLER MODE setting, you can determine the operation mode of the additional controller. RAID option will create SATA RAID arraysThe IDE option will define the controller to the device IDE emulation mode. The AHCI option configures SATA ports for AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface), which implements such opticalization functions to the hard disk, such as NCQ (Native Command Queuing), Hot Swap, Port Multiplier, Staggered Spin-Up.
CPU HOST FREQUENCY. (MHz) - Processor's reference frequency Synonyms: CPU FSB Clock, FSB Frequency, External Clock. The manual setting of the support clock (or frequency of the system bus), with which the clock frequencies of the remaining components of the system are synchronized by means of multipliers and divisors. During normal PC operation, it is most often in the AUTO position. The value of CPU Host Frequency is changed only when overclocking the processor and / or other components. But it should be remembered that the increase in operating frequencies for chip leads to an increase in their power consumption, and due to the heat generation - without good cooling Overclocking is extremely dangerous.
North Bridge Voltage. - Voltage on the North Bridge ..., Setting up the "North Bridge Voltage" determines the supply voltage of the northern bridge. At the same time, the higher the voltage, the stronger the chip will be suck - this circumstance should be taken into account so as not to "burn" the motherboard. Increasing the supply voltage in the North Bridge is most often required when overclocking to ensure the stability of operation at high frequencies, and in normal mode it is better to leave in the AUTO position. (Honestly, in any case, I do not advise you to overclocking)
SYSTEM DATE. - The system date consists of information about the year, month, number and even the day of the week. Configure the date, like the time, is easier through the operating system, but you can also from BIOS.
System Time. [XX: XX: XX] - System Time. This setting Allows you to set the clock, minutes and seconds of the system time. Although, this setting is easier to perform in the most operating system. It must be said that the system clocks work and store current readings through the battery voltage on the motherboard. (Therefore, the easiest way to return the BIOS settings to the working condition, that is factory, if you are incorrectly configured yourself, it is easy to remove the battery on the motherboard from the socket).
USB 2.0 Controller - USB 2.0 controller,
The Disabled option eliminates the USB bus support of the USB 2.0 bus, with only a slower USB 1.1 mode remain active.
USB 2.0 Controller Mode - High-speed USB bus mode. Setting up "USB 2.0 Controller Mode" switches the high-speed USB tire modes. The Full-speed mode corresponds to the rate of 0.5-12 Mbps, A Hi-Speed \u200b\u200bis a speed of 25-480 Mbps.
USB Functions - USB functions. The disabled option will disable USB bus. Turning off the USB bus will allow IRQ hardware interrupt lines that were highlighted for USB.
VGA CORE CLOCK.- Frequency of built-in video. The acceleration function (overclocking) of the built-in video card, which operates in the manual task mode of the clock frequency or the relative increase of its [+1%] ... [+ 50%]. Usually, the outclocking of the built-in video card does not bring a noticeable acceleration, but is a reason to increase the heating of the chipset.
Wireless Lan. - Wireless network, the Disabled option disables the module wireless network LAN, which is installed on the motherboard (ASUS).
PNP / PCI BIOS (PNP / PCI Configurations). This BIOS area exists mainly to solve compatibility issues with old "hardware". Most users do not need
Well, finally, briefly about acceleration (although I am not a supporter of this method, you can even say the enemy, as there are facts of deposits for the computer.
If in the work of the iron all the problems arose, the BIOS signals with special signals. About deciphering these Read here.
Options for acceleration in extended BIOS settings
Some users try to increase system performance, often increase the frequencies of the tire and the core of the processor. In addition, they often increase the voltage of the components, since it can be achieved higher clock frequencies, however, the heat is released more. Overclocking no longer leads to such a difference in performance that we could see a few years ago. In addition, overclocking deprives the user warranty, can lead to the failure of the components, and the system can be unstable. For this reason, for most frequency and voltage settings in this section, the BIOS should leave the "AUTO" option. If you want to adjust the settings, then click on the Advanced tab of the BIOS screen, then select "Advanced Chipset Features". remember, that incorrect installation BIOS parameters can lead to unstable PC operation. If this nevertheless happened, then you will have to reset the BIOS settings to the factory default value (that is, up to non-optimized). This is usually done with the help of the motherboard jumper, (it is easier to remove the battery for some time with a motherboard than to search than finding the place where the jumper is made naturally not including the computer in the network.

AMI BIOS versions 2.5x / 2.6x is often found on modern maternal asus boards. The main difference from most other manufacturers is a modified interface bIOS utilities SETUP. Therefore, it makes sense to consider it separately.
Similar to implement AMI BIOS versions of 2.5x / 2.6x can be found on maternal fees of some other manufacturers. First of all, it is, of course, a subsidiary ASUS - ASRock. But the similar BIOS SETUP interface sometimes uses Biostar.
Main menu
Unlike the previously discussed versions of AMI BIOS, the implementation of AMI BIOS 2.5X / 2.6X on the Maternal ASUS motherboards does not have a separate screen with the main menu. The main menu is a string at the top of the screen that allows you to minimize the cost to any item.
