Phoenix's Award BIOS example

Display the BIOS setting screen



Turn on your computer and press the Delete key once (or several times in a row) while the message "Press DEL to enter SETUP" is displayed.
(Depending on the manufacturer, it may be F1, F2, or other multiple key combinations.)

Setting boot device priority

The PC has a boot priority, and if it is possible to boot from multiple hard disks, CDs, USB flash drive, etc., it will try to boot in the specified priority.
To boot from a CD-ROM or USB flash drive, it is necessary to prioritize them over the hard disk.

Select "Advanced BIOS Features" and press the [Enter] key.


When booting from the CD-ROM, select the CDROM in "First Boot Device"



When booting from the USB flash drive, select the USB-HDD in "First Boot Device"

* The display name may differ depending on the manufacturer.



Setting to enable USB flash drive (only when USB flash drive boot)

If the USB flash drive is not recognized at all, the following USB-related settings may not have been made.
In this example, the green underlined area should be Enabled.



Select "Save & Exit Setup" to save the settings

Press [Y] (Yes) on the confirmation screen below.


With this BIOS, you can now boot from the CD-ROM / USB flash drive.

* CD-ROM is basically compatible with many IDE / USB / SATA, but some are not.
* USB memory booting has various settings depending on the BIOS, and it is not possible to boot with all PCs and USB flash drive combinations.
* You cannot use an encryption-compatible USB flash drive that requires a password to be entered when accessing.

Setting the boot environment on UEFI

With "GreenPepper PRO", UEFI boot is possible when booting from a CD / USB flash drive or hard disk.
Select the boot device with the UEFI boot manager, or set the boot priority of USB memory, CD, etc. to the top in the UEFI settings. Also, depending on the PC model, it may not be possible to boot unless SecureBoot is disabled.

The UEFI boot manager is usually displayed by pressing the F12, F11 or F10 key at PC startup.
