Setup Guide

14.2
The PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility changes system behavior by modifying the BIOS
configuration. The setup program uses a number of menus to make changes and turn
features on or off.
The BIOS setup menus documented in this section represent those found in most models of
the ETX-P3/C3. The BIOS Setup for specific models can differ slightly.
Note: Selecting incorrect values may cause system boot failure. Load setup-default values to recover by pressing
<F9>. It might also be necessary to use the "reset configuration data" option in the BIOS setup and set it to
"yes". In certain circumstances this may also help to recover from system boot failure or a resource conflict.
