Overview
The BIOS is a program that takes care of the basic level of communication between the CPU and
peripherals. It contains codes for various advanced features found in this system board.
The BIOS allows you to configure the system and save the configuration in a battery-backed
CMOS so that the data retains even when the power is off. In general, the information stored in
the CMOS RAM of the EEPROM will stay unchanged unless a configuration change has been
made such as a hard drive replaced or a device added.
It is possible that the CMOS battery will fail causing CMOS data loss. If this happens, you need
to install a new CMOS battery and reconfigure the BIOS settings.
Note:
For the detailed technical information about the mainboard, please refer to the technical
document from TYSSO official website.

The further configurations of the BIOS and the mainboard should only be reserved to the

qualified personnel only
