This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.

  • Page 38: Starting Bios Setup

    Starting BIOS Setup The Award™ BIOS is immediately activated when you power on the computer every time. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. After finishing configuring the whole system, then BIOS will continue to seek an operating system on one of the disks, launch then turn control over to the operating system.
