NOTE:

The MXM module must be installed at the factory. Please contact your local ADLINK representative for more information.

When an MXM graphics module is installed, the default Primary Display BIOS setting (Auto) will send bootup display output to DP3-DP6 (MXM graphics). To send bootup display output to DP1-DP2 (integrated Intel graphics), go to BIOS setup and change Advanced > Graphics Configuration > Primary Display to IGFX (see 5.4.2 Graphics Configuration on p. 49).

# 3.9 Starting Up the System

Upon startup, the system will auto-detect storage devices and boot from the operating system, if found. To change the boot device order, press &lt;Del&gt; or &lt;Esc&gt; to enter BIOS setup menu and change the Boot Option settings. If no operating system is found, the system will enter the BIOS setup menu automatically.

The AVA-5500 is delivered without an operating system installed.

# 5 BIOS Setup

# 5.1 Introduction

The following chapter describes basic navigation for the AMI EFI BIOS setup utility.

# 5.2 Entering BIOS Setup

To enter the setup screen, follow these steps:

1. Power on the motherboard
2. Press the &lt; Delete &gt; key on your keyboard when you see the following text prompt:
&lt; Press DEL to run Setup &gt;
3. After you press the &lt;Delete&gt; key, the main BIOS setup menu displays. You can access the other setup screens from the main BIOS setup menu, such as Chipset and Power menus.

![The image displays a digital icon resembling a document or piece of paper. It features a white background with a black outline and a folded top-left corner. Faint grey horizontal lines are visible, suggesting text on the page. A large, bold red checkmark is superimposed over the center of the document.](.ava-5500-50-1z294-2010-11/151643ee8ef2329d1362230b7341d594e7319485c79d18b1af0756cf9cbf6a23.jpg)
NOTE:

In most cases, the &lt;Delete&gt; key is used to invoke the setup screen. There are several cases that use other keys, such as &lt;F1&gt;, &lt;F2&gt;, and so on.

# Setup Menu

The main BIOS setup menu is the first screen that you can navigate. Each main BIOS setup menu option is described in this user's guide.

The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. "Grayed" options cannot be configured, "Blue" options can be.

The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it.

# Navigation

The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of the BIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation process.

NOTE:

There is a hot key legend located in the right frame on most setup screens.

# Hotkey Descriptions

Enter The &lt; Enter &gt; key allows you to display or change the setup option listed for a particular setup item. The &lt; Enter &gt; key can also allow you to display the setup sub-screens.

F1 The &lt; F1 &gt; key allows you to display the General Help screen. Press the &lt; F1 &gt; key to open the General Help screen.

F8 The &lt; F8 &gt; key on your keyboard is the previous values key. It is not displayed on the key legend by default. To set the previous values settings of the BIOS, press the &lt; F8 &gt; key on your keyboard. It is located on the upper row of a standard 101 keyboard. The previous values settings allow the motherboard to boot up with the least amount of options set. This can lessen the probability of conflicting settings.

# F9

The &lt; F9 &gt; key on your keyboard is the optimized defaults key. To set the optimized defaults settings of the BIOS, press the &lt; F9 &gt; key on your keyboard.
