Chapter 4: BIOS Utilities

Overview

This chapter gives a brief introduction to the computer’s built-in software:

Diagnostics: The POST (Power-On Self Test)

Configuration: The PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility

If your computer has never been set up, or you are making important changes to
the system (e.g. hard disk setup), then you should review this chapter first and note
the original settings found in the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility. Even if you are a
beginner, keep a record of the settings you find and any changes you make. This
information could be useful if your system ever needs servicing.

There is one general rule: Don’t make any changes unless you are sure of what
you are doing
. Many of the settings are required by the system, and changing them
could cause it to become unstable or worse. If you have any doubts, consult your
service representative.
