C.1.2 How To Change the Configuration Data
The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing the
<
Delete
> key at the appropriate time during system boot. (See following Section.)
C.1.3 Starting the Setup Utility
Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory test.
As the memory is being tested, press the <
Delete
> key to enter the main menu of
the BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens,
such as the Security and Power menus. Beginning with Section 4-3, detailed descrip-
tions are given for each parameter setting in the Setup utility.
C.2 Running Setup
The BIOS setup options described in this section are selected by choosing the appro-
priate text from the main BIOS Setup screen (see
Figure C-1 on page C-3). The
screen display is often all you need to understand how to set the options.
When the computer is first powered on, the Phoenix BIOS™ is immediately acti-
vated. While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of
two ways:
1. By pressing <
Delete
> immediately after turning the system on, or
2. When the message shown below appears briefly at the bottom of the screen
during the POST (Power On Self-Test), press the <
Delete
> key to activate
the main Setup menu:
Press the <Delete> key to enter Setup
Warning: To prevent possible boot failure, do not shut down or reset the system
while updating the BIOS.
Note: Default settings are shown in bold text unless otherwise noted.
