Navigating the Menus
Use the arrow keys to move between the options. The scroll bar on the right of any window
indicates that there is more than one page of information in the window. Use <PgUp> and
<PgDn> to navigate between the pages. Pressing <Home> and <End> displays the first
and last page. Press <Esc> to exit the current window.
The Field Help Window
The help panel/window on the right side of each menu displays the help text for the currently
selected field. It updates as you move through each field.
Activating SubMenus
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor over the desired submenu option. Press <Enter> and
the submenu will be accessed. A » symbol designates all submenus.
Saving Values
To Save the values you have just set, move the cursor to the Exit Menu. The Save Values
option saves all values currently displayed in the menus.
IMPORTANT
The BIOS does NOT automatically save values that you have modified. If you do not save
your values before you exit the BIOS Setup Utility, all your changes will be lost.
If after making and saving system changes with the BIOS Setup Utility, you discover that your
computer is no longer able to boot, the PhoenixBIOS supports an override, which will reset
your system to the Failsafe defaults. If that fails, it is possible to manually clear the present
CMOS information through the "Clear CMOS Header" on the motherboard (Refer to Jumper
Settings for more information).
The best advice is to ONLY alter settings which you thoroughly understand. The default
settings have been carefully chosen by PhoenixBIOS to provide the maximum system
performance and reliability. Even a slight change to the chipset setup may cause potential
and unpredictable failure to the system.
