Chapter 3 BIOS Setup Program
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. (i.e. After Intel Pentium 4 logo
appears at the center of the screen, please press [ Delete ] to enter the BIOS setup
program).
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.
