Option 2: Phoenix-Award BIOS and AMI

BIOS versions from developers such as Phoenix-Award and AMI have similar functionality, so they will be considered in the same version. The instructions for configuring USB ports in this case look like this:

1. Enter BIOS.
2. Go to the tab "Advanced" o "Advanced BIOS Features" , found in the top menu or in the list on the main screen (depending on the version).

   2. Go to the tab "Peripherals" o "Advanced" . Depending on the versions, it may have a slightly different name, but it is usually called that and is located at the top of the interface. As a guide, you can also use the icon that marks this item - this is a picture of a cable connected to a computer.
   3. Here you should find the options: "Legacy USB " y "USB 3.0 compatibility" . Set the value "Habilitado" in front of both.
