Phoenix-Award BIOS Utility
The Phoenix-Award BIOS provides users with a built-in Setup program
to modify basic system configuration. All configured parameters are
stored in a battery-backed-up RAM (CMOS RAM) to save the Setup
information whenever the power is turned off.
3.1 Entering Setup
There are two ways to enter the Setup program. You may either turn
ON the computer and press <Del> immediately, or press the <Del>
and/or <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Esc> keys simultaneously when the
following message appears at the bottom of the screen during POST
(Power on Self Test).
TO ENTER SETUP PRESS DEL KEY
If the message disappears before you respond and you still want to
enter Setup, please restart the system to try it again. Turning the
system power OFF and ON, pressing the “RESET” button on the
system case or simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Del> keys
can restart the system. If you do not press keys at the right time and
the system doesn’t boot, an error message will pop out to prompt you
the following information:
PRESS <F1> TO CONTINUE, <CTRL-ALT-ESC> OR <DEL> TO ENTER SETUP
