BIOS Compatibility

This BIOS is IBM PC compatible with additional CMOS RAM and BIOS data areas
used.
Table 3-16 Exit Menu Options
Description
After making your selections on the Setup menus, always select either Save
Changes & Exit or Save Changes. Both procedures store the selections dis-
played in the menus in battery-backed CMOS RAM. After you save your selec-
tions, the program displays this message:
Changes have been saved.
If you try to exit without saving, the program asks if you want to save before
exiting. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your sys-
tem according to the setup selections stored in CMOS. If those values cause
the system boot to fail, reboot and press F2 to enter Setup. In Setup, you can
get the default values (as described below) or try to change the selections that
caused the boot to fail.
This option exits Setup without storing any new selections you have made in
CMOS. The previous settings remain in effect.
To display the default values for all the Setup menus, select this option. The
program displays this message:
Default values have been loaded.
If during boot up, the BIOS program detects a problem in the integrity of values
stored in CMOS, it displays these messages:
System CMOS checksum bad - run SETUP
Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to Setup
This means the CMOS values have been corrupted or modified incorrectly,
perhaps by an application program that changes data stored in CMOS. Press
F1 to resume the boot (this causes the system to be configured using the de-
fault values) or F2 to run Setup with the ROM default values already loaded
into the menus. You can make other changes before saving the values to
CMOS.
If, during a Setup session, you change your mind about changes you have
made and have not yet saved the values to CMOS, you can restore the values
you previously saved to CMOS. Selecting Load Previous Values updates all
the selections and displays this message:
Previous values have been loaded.
This option saves your selections without exiting Setup. You can return to the
other menus if you want to review and change your selections.
