® WinFast 6000ABX User’s Manual Introduction of BIOS Chapter 4 The Mainboard BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) acts as the bridge between your Hardware (CPU, Disk Drives, Video, etc.) and Operating System Software (Windows 95, OS/2 and so on…) The BIOS Setup (also called CMOS Setup) is where many hardware configuration options are set and stored.
The best advice is to alter only settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset screen without a good reason. Leadtek has carefully chosen the Chipset defaults for the best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup may cause the system to become unstable.
