BIOS SETUP AND SECURITY FEATURE

In this chapter, you will learn how to enter the BIOS Setup Menu and manipulate various hardware control settings.

You will also learn how to use the built-in security features.

The Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer's BIOS (Basic Input/Output System).

It runs and maintains a variety of hardware functions. It is a menu-driven software, which allows you to easily

configure and change the settings.

The BIOS contains manufacture's default settings for the computer's standard operations. However, there are

occasions when you may be required to modify the default settings in the BIOS.

The BIOS allows you to set up passwords to limit access to users. This is an important feature because a great deal of

vital information is carried within the computer nowadays. Unauthorized access can be prevented. Later in this

chapter, you will learn how to use this security feature.

Note: The BIOS Setup Utility you see on your notebook may appear slightly different than what is shown in

this manual, because your notebook may have newer BIOS version installed.

Entering the BIOS Setup Screen

First turn on the power. When the BIOS performs the POST (Power-On Self Test), press F2 key quickly to activate the

Phoenix BIOS Setup Utility.

Note: You may need to press F2 key fairly quickly. Once the system begins to load Windows, you may have

to retry by cycle-power on again

Leaving the BIOS Setup Screen

When you have finished modifying the BIOS settings, exit the BIOS. It takes a few seconds to record changes in the

CMOS.
