Using GetCMOS and PutCMOS

Used in combination, the GetCMOS [filename] and PutCMOS [filename] command line functions can be
used to easily configure the system BIOS using pre-determined settings.
Any number of BIOS configurations can be stored using these commands, either on the system hard disk
or on removable media. Using the GetCMOS/PutCMOS commands allows you to create identical BIOS
configurations on multiple systems.

Saving a BIOS Configuration Using GetCMOS

To run GETCMOS, attach a keyboard to your system and perform the following procedure. (An external
keyboard must be used to type the commands since pen support is not available at the MS-DOS level.)
1. Turn the system on and enter the BIOS setup by double-tapping the screen when prompted.
2. Adjust the BIOS configuration to the desired settings.
3. Save and Exit the BIOS setup.
4. Boot to the MS-DOS prompt.
5. Go to the DOS command line and type: getcmos (filename), with the filename being the
destination at which you want to store the BIOS configuration that you just created. When you press
the Enter key, the BIOS configuration is stored in the file destination you selected.

Restoring a BIOS Configuration

To apply the BIOS setting created with GetCMOS, attach a keyboard to your system and perform the
following procedure. (An external keyboard must be used to type the commands since pen support is not
available at the MS-DOS level.)
1. Boot to the MS-DOS prompt.
2. At the DOS command line, type putcmos (filename), with the filename the path to the location of the
GetCMOS BIOS configuration you want to apply to the system.
3. When you press the Enter key, the BIOS configuration associated with the designated GetCMOS file is
applied to the system BIOS.
