Phoenix-Award BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic
system configuration. This information is stored in CMOS RAM so that it can retain the setup
information even when the power is turned off.
To enter the Phoenix-Award BIOS setup program:
Press [Delete] when you Power on or Reboot the computer system. (i.e. After the
Intel Pentium 4 logo appears at the center of the screen, please press [Delete] to
enter the BIOS setup program).
The primary screen as shown in Figure 3-1 is a list of the menus and functions available in
the setup program. Select the desired item by using arrow keys and press [Enter] to make
the changes. Operating commands are located at the bottom of this and all other BIOS
screens. When a field is highlighted, on-line help information is displayed on the right side
of the screen.
Standard CMOS Setup
3-1
The Standard CMOS Setup allows users to configure system components such as hard-disk
drive, floppy-disk drive and video display as well as date, time and boot up error signaling.
This configuration menu should be changed when installing a motherboard for the first time,
or changing hardware such as HDD, FDD, and video display in your system, or when the
CMOS data was lost or corrupted. Choose the Standard CMOS Setup option from the CMOS
Setup Utility menu (Figure 3-1) to display the following options:
Date/Time:
Set the date and time of the system. Do not skip this function as all of your timed events
such as power management, saving files, etc are based on this timer.
