The following sections describe each of the options on this menu. Note that <Esc> does not exit this menu.
You must select one of the items from the menu or menu bar to exit.
Saving Changes
After making your selections on the Setup menus, select “Exit Saving Changes" or "Save Changes" to see a
screen similar to the following:
Setup Confirmation
Save configuration changes and exit now?
[Yes] [No]
Select Yes and press <Enter> to save the changes.
Both procedures store the selections displayed in the menus in CMOS (short for "battery-backed CMOS
RAM") a special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot
your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS.
During boot up, PhoenixBIOS attempts to load the values saved in CMOS. If those values cause the system
boot to fail, reboot and press <F2> to enter Setup. In Setup, you can get the Default Values (as described
below) or try to change the selections that caused the boot to fail.
Exit Discarding Changes
Use this option to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any new selections you may have made. The
selections previously in effect remain in effect.
Load Setup Defaults
To display the default values for all the Setup menus, select "Load Setup Defaults" from the Main Menu.
The program displays this message:
Setup Confirmation
Load default configuration now?
[Yes] [No]
Select Yes and press <Enter> to load the default configuration.
If, during boot up, the BIOS program detects a problem in the integrity of values stored in CMOS, it
displays these messages:
System CMOS checksum bad - run SETUP
Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to Setup
The CMOS values have been corrupted or modified incorrectly, perhaps by an application program that
changes data stored in CMOS.
Press <F1> to resume the boot or <F2> to run Setup with the ROM default values already loaded into the
menus. You can make other changes before saving the values to CMOS.
