BIOS settings

You can save the BIOS Setup settings of a PC in a file. This step saves the basic settings of
a device so that you can restore the basic status of the BIOS Setup settings after inadvertent
or incorrect changes.
You can also transfer the BIOS settings from one computer to another if the hardware
platform and the BIOS version match. This will give you the option to save the BIOS settings
of a computer as a template.
The latest BIOS settings are displayed in the tab "Settings" of the element properties "BIOS
settings". Depending on the BIOS or device version, display will either be in text format or as
hex dump (CMOS image).
