The PhoenixBIOS is immediately activated every time you power on the system. The BIOS
reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking the
system and configuring it. After configuring the system, the BIOS follows the Boot Order to
seek an operating system. The BIOS then turns control of the system over to the operating
system.
The CMOS information that determines the system parameters is changed by entering the
BIOS Setup utility:
1.
Power on the System.
Note: Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory test.
2.
As the memory is being tested, you can access the BIOS Setup Utility by pressing
the <F2> key when “Press F2 to enter SETUP” appears briefly at the bottom of
the screen.
From the main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility, you can access the other setup screens, such
as the Security and Power menus.
