6. Windows 98 only: If desired, choose Audit Boot to restart the system in audit mode. If you do so, go
back to step 4 in this procedure to continue. (This allows you to restart the system if necessary when
preinstalling software or testing the system.)
7. When you are finished auditing the system, tap the Shutdown button in the OEM Reset Reminder
dialog box.
The system is now shut down and software licensing screens will appear in their first-run state when the
system is started. Note that you can invoke audit mode as many times as desired, however, once the
Certificate of Authenticity information is entered, you can no longer invoke audit mode.

Permanent and Current BIOS Settings

Some BIOS configuration utilities allow you to select permanent and/or current settings when
configuring BIOS options. When you change a permanent setting, BIOS parameters stored in CMOS
memory are changed and the new setting is applied after the system is restarted. When you change a
current setting, BIOS parameters stored in dynamic memory are changed and the new setting is applied
for the current session. Also, note that a change to the current setting only remains in effect until the
system is restarted or shut down.
BIOS code resides in the system's CMOS memory. When the system is powered on, BIOS code is copied
or "shadowed" into the system's dynamic memory and the system runs using BIOS parameters stored in
dynamic memory.

BIOS Setup

BIOS Setup is a configuration utility that you can use to change your system's permanent BIOS settings.
The BIOS Setup application is stored in the BIOS flash ROM. (BIOS Setup values or settings are stored in
CMOS memory.) Instructions for starting and running BIOS Setup are given in the following discussions.
