The Setup Utility

The Phoenix Setup utility tells the system how to configure itself and manage basic
features and subsystems (e.g. port configuration).

Entering Setup

To enter Setup, turn on the computer and press F2 during the POST. The prompt
(Press F2 to Enter Setup) seen in Figure 5 - 1 on page

5 - 2

is usually present for a

few seconds after you turn on the system. If you get a “Keyboard Error”, (usually
because you pressed F2 too quickly) just press F2 again.

If the computer is already on, reboot using the Ctrl + Alt + Delete combination and
then hold down F2 when prompted. The Setup main menu will appear.

BIOS Settings

Warning

Incorrect settings can

mistakes, return to Set-
up
