SIMULATION INTRODUCTION:-
This BIOS simulation is meant as a way to give users an online example of how to navigate through an Phoenix BIOS setup using illustrated graphics of the Phoenix BIOS and brief explanations of the navigation.
these is most widely using BIOS company.
easy to use but typical to understand.
HOW IT IS DIFFERENT:-
Arrow keys are used to navigate.
plus or minus keys are used to increase or decrease the values.
users must save values before exiting.
NAVIGATION INFORMATION:-
Its very easy to navigate through Phoenix BIOS.

To navigate the phoenix BIOS just use UP and DOWN or RIGHT or LEFT arrow key and hit enter to a particular option.
To change the value user can use the NUMBER button on the keyboard or else use the PLUS or MINUS key from the keyboard.
Before exiting press F10 and hit "y" from keyboard and then hit enter.
SCREEN SHOTS:-
Below are example illustrations of the Phoenix BIOS setup screens. As can be seen from the below pictures, this BIOS is broken up into several different menus. In the below illustration of the Main menu portion of the BIOS, a user can see the computer specifications as well as easily change the time, date, and other system specific settings.
THE ADVANCE MENU :-
Peripheral Configuration:- The Peripheral Configuration section of the BIOS enables the user to setup and change the settings for the computer's Serial Ports and Parallel ports as well as enable or disable Legacy USB Support.
IDE Configuration:- The IDE configuration allows a user to define or change any values relating to IDE devices connected to the computer. This includes you hard disk drive, CD-ROM drives and any other IDE drives.
Diskette Options :- The Diskette Options enables the user to enable, disable, and change settings relating to the diskette drive connected to the computer.
DMI Event Logging:- The DMI Event Logging enables a user to view the DMI event log, clear the log and enable or disable this feature.
Video Configuration:- The Video Configuration allows the user to Set settings related to the video including the Palette Snooping, AGP Aperture Size, and the default adapter.
Resource Configuration:- The Resource Configuration enables a user to reserve or make available any memory or IRQ resources.
THE SECURITY SECTION:-
The security section enables the user to set BIOS passwords on the computer. In this case, the user can set a user password, which will cause a password prompt each time the computer boots or set a setup password that will prompt for a password each time someone enters the BIOS setup. If a user sets a BIOS password and forgets that password, he or she must clear the CMOS or jump the BIOS jumper on the motherboard.
POWER SECTION:-
The next section, or Power menu, enables a user to enable and disable the power management options on the computer. Because this section really has no more than disabling and enabling power management and the hardware with power management features, this illustration is not shown.
The next and final section in this example of the Phoenix BIOS is the Boot menu; this section enables a user to setup how the computer and its peripherals should load during the boot process. As seen below, users can define the boot sequence of bootable devices. This section is important for when the user wishes to boot from a floppy diskette or CD-ROM. In addition to the available options in this menu, there are three sub-menus that enable a user to select from a listing of available hard drives or other removable devices.
NOTE:- Remember not to exit the phoenix BIOS without saving it.
