The Phoenix-Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying

system configuration and settings. The Setup utility is stored in BIOS ROM.

When you power up the system, BIOS is activated. Immediately pressing the

<Del> key allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are slow to press the

<Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines,

thus preventing you from invoking Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup,

restart the system by pressing the “Reset” button or simultaneously pressing

the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by turning the

system off and back on again. On power up, the following message will

appear on the screen:

Press <DEL> to Enter Setup

In the Setup utility program, you can make changes by pressing the arrow

keys to highlight items, <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries,

<Enter> to select, <F1> for help and <Esc> to quit. When you enter the

Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the screen. The Main

Menu allows you to select from various setup functions and exit choices.
