1.6 System BIOS SETUP Program
The notebook uses the Phoenix BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) Setup program that allows
you to set several system configurations in changing the way the system performs. This
includes your system time and date, disk drive configuration, I/O device controls, boot drive
sequence, and power management settings. The information is then stored in the CMOS RAM
chip and will remain permanent unless you change it again. The notebook also uses EPROM
Flash BIOS that allows you to update the system BIOS by simply overwriting it using the
Phoenix Flash programming utility.
Before boot-up, the system will read the BIOS settings and compare them to the equipment
check conducted during the POST (Power-On Self-Test). As the POST (Power-On Self Test)
executes during the boot up process or if an error occurs, an error message will be displayed
on the screen, the screen will display the following message: ”Press <F2> to Enter SETUP”.
You will then be prompted to run the BIOS Setup Program by pressing the <F2> key to run
the BIOS Setup program.
The BIOS Setup program is organized into five menus which you can select using the Å and
Æ keys. To move from one option to another, you use the up and down arrow keys while
using the <F5> and <F6>, or <+>and <-> keys to change the settings. On the right hand side
of the screen are some brief help descriptions of each item you want to change.
