BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)

BIOS is a set of routines that affect how the computer transfers data between computer components, such

as memory, disks, and the display adapter. The BIOS instructions are built into the computer’s read-only

memory. BIOS parameters can be configured by the user through the BIOS Setup program. The BIOS

can be updated using the provided utility to copy a new BIOS file into the EEPROM.

Bit (Binary Digit)

Represents the smallest unit of data used by the computer. A bit can have one of two values: 0 or 1.

Boot

Boot means to start the computer operating system by loading it into system memory. When the manual

instructs you to “boot” your system (or computer), it means to turn ON your computer. “Reboot” means

to restart your computer. When using Windows 95 or later, selecting “Restart” from “Start | Shut Down...”

will reboot your computer.

Byte (Binary Term)

One byte is a group of eight contiguous bits. A byte is used to represent a single alphanumeric character,

punctuation mark, or other symbol.

Clock Throttling

Chipset function which allows the processor’s clock to be stopped and started at a known duty cycle.

Clock throttling is used for power savings, thermal management, and reducing processing speed.
