BIOS Setup

Every AT-compatible computer has a battery supported CMOS memory location that
stores information about the system and peripheral configuration. Because of the
attached battery, the CMOS is constantly provided with power, even when the computer
has been turned off.
During the boot sequence, a special software application called the BIOS (Basic Input
Output System), located in read-only (ROM) memory on the system board, reads the
information contained in the CMOS and configures the CPU and other peripheral devices.
If the CMOS information is incorrect, the system may not operate correctly until accurate
information is stored in the CMOS. The Setup Program has been built into the system
to provide the means for changing the CMOS.

When Setup Should Be Run

Although the Micron ClientPro X
adjusted to fit your needs.
Whenever peripherals are added or removed from the system (for example, if you add
a hard disk or more memory), you must run Setup to inform the system about the new
configuration.
If the information in CMOS is lost, the system will not operate properly unless Setup is
used to restore the system configuration.
