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. For example, you may need to configure the BIOS
power management (APM) settings if you are using DOS, or non-Windows operating system.
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.
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.
