Setup Guide
The PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility changes system behavior by modifying the BIOS configuration. The setup
program uses a number of menus to make changes and turn features on or off.
Note:
Selecting incorrect values may cause system boot failure. Load setup default values to recover by pressing
<F9>. It might also be necessary to use the “reset configuration data” option in the BIOS setup and set it to
“yes”. In certain circumstances this may also help to recover from system boot failure or a resource conflict.
