65EB CHAPTER 4 BIOS SETUP 4-1 INTRODUCE THE BIOS • BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System. It is sometimes called ROM BIOS because it is stored in a Read-Only Memory(ROM) chip on the motherboard. BIOS is the first program to run when you turn on your computer.
65EB 4-4 WHAT IS CMOS • CMOS is a special kind of memory maintained by a battery after you turn your computer off. The BIOS uses CMOS to store the settings you selected in SETUP. The CMOS also maintains the internal clock. Every time you turn on your computer, the BIOS Looks in CMOS for the settings you se- lected and configures your computer accordingly.
65EB 4-6.2 UPGRADE PROCESS Note: Normally, to upgrade BIOS that is unnecessary if the system is working fine without any problem, user should upgrade the BIOS unless you experienced incompatible problem or need BIOS upgrade to create new features. However, please read all information in this section before upgrading.
