How to set ATMEGA16A to use external 12MHZ crystal

[Bob Builder]

Hello,

 

I am attempting to follow the RFID to Atmega16 tutorial, I have everything set up, now I would like program the chip, in AVR studio4 . However, I am unsure how to set the ATMEGA16A to use an external 12MHz crystal. I understand I must change the fuse bits, but after reading the data sheet I’m still unsure what I need to do. I have heard you can brick your MC if this is done wrong any advise?

 

Thanks
