AMI's ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program, which allows the user to modify
the basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will
be stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be retained even when the
power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will not
need to be changed unless there is a configuration change in the system, such as a
hard drive replacement or when a device is added.
It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail, which will cause data loss in the CMOS
only. If this happens you will need to reconfigure your BIOS settings.
