Chapter 3 Phoenix Award BIOS Setup Utility

Phoenix-Award BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify
the basic system configuration. This information is stored in CMOS RAM so that it
can retain the setup information even when the power is turned off. Press [Delete]
when you Power on or Reboot the computer system. The primary screen as shown in
Figure 3-1 is a list of the menus and functions available in the setup program. Select
the desired item by using arrow keys and press [Enter] to make the changes.
Operating commands are located at the bottom of this and all other BIOS screens.
When a field is highlighted, on-line help information is displayed on the right side of
the screen.
