2.4 BIOS Setup
In most cases, the computer will have been set up and configured by the dealer or
system integrator prior to delivery. However, it may still be necessary to adjust some
of the BIOS settings to adjust the system configuration data, such as the current
date/time or the specific hard drive type installed.
The BIOS Setup program is stored in read-only memory (ROM) and can be accessed
after powering on the computer or after a system reset by pressing the “Delete” key
upon bootup.
The BIOS settings are recorded in a special area of memory called CMOS RAM. This
memory is backed up by a battery to ensure they are retained when the system is
powered off. When the device is powered on, the system reads the BIOS settings
stored in CMOS RAM and compares them to the results of the equipment check con -
ducted during the power on self-test (POST). If a discrepancy is detected, an error
message is displayed onscreen, and the user is prompted to run the BIOS setup pro -
gram.
